I make my living with my delivery van. 5 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 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 $200 goes: • Towing and inspection: $20 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • transmission replacement (parts): $160 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • rooting for you, Vanessa. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Abuja.

    • Thinking of you, Vanessa. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
