My delivery van: Kayode's only way to earn a living
Kayode's my delivery van is Kayode's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $100.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria737 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Labor charges: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Kayode. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Ikeja. Hope you're open again soon. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kayode.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. towing and inspection is the biggest at $20. Happy to explain more.
Small businesses are the heart of Ikeja. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
