Get Masud back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Masud drives for a living in Narayanganj, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $170
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $25

Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Narayanganj. Hope you're open again soon. I'll check back for the next update.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Masud
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. clutch assembly replacement (parts) comes first ($170) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Praying for you. Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Stay strong, Masud. Hope this works out for you
