Lucky needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Lagos
Lucky drives for a living in Lagos, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria922 views
I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 twelve 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:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $95
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $40
Thank you for reading my story.
