Help Femi replace the gearbox and return to work
Femi's my pickup is Femi's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $100.
🇳🇬 Enugu, Enugu, Nigeria993 views
I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 ten 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 $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
