Get Sathi back on the road: my taxi repair fund

Without my taxi Sathi can't work; a $155 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $155 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $90 • Labor charges: $25 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 • Towing and inspection: $5 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Sathi

  1. Thank you all. We're at 35% now ($55). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for labor charges is now scheduled.

  • Rooting for you, Sathi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

    • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Lagos.
