Help Vivian replace the suspension and return to work
Vivian's my school-run minibus is Vivian's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $250.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria233 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 six 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 $250 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• Labor charges: $25
• suspension replacement (parts): $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best. Small businesses are the heart of Lagos. Hope you're open again soon. After 16 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Vivian?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about road tax and insurance renewal, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Shared this with my family. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Keep going. Hope the shop reopens soon. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.
