Get Kunle back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Kunle drives for a living in Lagos, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 12 weeks.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,062 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $155. 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 ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $155 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $30
• Towing and inspection: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
