Get Usman back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Without my ride-share car Usman can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,839 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 ten 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:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $10
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $165
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
