Help Aisha replace the suspension and return to work
Aisha's my tuk-tuk is Aisha's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $250.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria554 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the suspension 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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:
• suspension replacement (parts): $125
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $45
If you're reading this, thank you.
