Get Kunle back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Kunle's my taxi is Kunle's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $200.
🇳🇬 Anambra, Nigeria453 views
I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $200 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $140
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there, Kunle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
keep going, Kunle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Kunle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Nnewi
wishing you peace, Kunle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Mar del Plata but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Nnewi.
So sorry you're going through this, Kunle. Small businesses are the heart of Nnewi. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
