Help Yakubu replace the transmission and return to work

Yakubu drives for a living in Abuja, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the transmission 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 nine 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: • Labor charges: $30 • Towing and inspection: $15 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $55 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Yakubu

        I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Abuja.
