Lanre needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Badagry
Lanre drives for a living in Badagry, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $55. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $55 goes:
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• Towing and inspection: $5
Glad we found this place.

Good luck. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Bristol.
Wishing you the best. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Badagry
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in San Jose this morning. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Toulon.
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from Kraków.
Thinking of you, Lanre. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best

Hang in there, Lanre. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Benin City.
Thinking of you and your family, Lanre. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
