Get Uche back on the road: my motorbike repair fund

Uche drives for a living in Awka, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $200 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $110 • Labor charges: $55 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $15 • Towing and inspection: $20 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Uche

Updates from Uche

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($185 in total) the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

          Thinking of you, Uche. Shared this with my family. After 19 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
