Help Fatima replace the transmission and return to work
Fatima's my taxi is Fatima's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $200.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria933 views
I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the transmission 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $35
• Towing and inspection: $25
• transmission replacement (parts): $140
Thanks for reading all this.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares
Good luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My husband and I read this together. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
