Get Lanre back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Without my pickup Lanre cannot work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $250 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $155
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
I hope life is good to you.

Hope you get there. Sent it to 11 people at work. Blessings
praying for you, Lanre. Small businesses are the heart of Kano. Hope you're open again soon. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Kano.
