My delivery van: Temitope's only way to earn a living
Temitope drives for a living in Enugu, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 twelve 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 $300 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $210
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $30
I hope life is good to you.
