Kemi needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Ogbomosho
Without my school-run minibus Kemi can't work; a $150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $150 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $100
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40

So sorry you're going through this, Kemi. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Nice.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Rome.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Tampa donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Ogbomosho.
Wishing you the best, Kemi. Small businesses are the heart of Ogbomosho. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
