Help Paul replace the gearbox and return to work
Paul drives for a living in Ibadan, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 6 weeks.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria610 views
I make my living with my pickup. 6 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 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 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 $100 goes:
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $10
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
