My delivery van: Esther's only way to earn a living

Esther drives for a living in Abuja, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 4 weeks ago the gearbox 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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: • gearbox replacement (parts): $125 • Labor charges: $15 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $55 • Towing and inspection: $5 With deep gratitude, Esther
