Get Lanre back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Lanre drives for a living in Epe, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇳🇬 Nigeria511 views
I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $150 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $100
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out, Lanre. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted
wishing you peace, Lanre. Hope the shop reopens soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. After 8 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Take care, Lanre. I hope things turn around soon.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
