Help Jide replace the rear axle and return to work
Jide's my ride-share car is Jide's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $200.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,431 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $200 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• rear axle replacement (parts): $150
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Jide. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
