My motorbike: Ife's only way to earn a living

Ife drives for a living in Ikeja, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

Ikeja
I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the rear axle 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $300 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $180 • Labor charges: $40 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 • Towing and inspection: $40 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ife

    Praying for you, Ife. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care

      Best of luck. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Ahmedabad but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Ikeja.
