My pickup: Ebuka's only way to earn a living

Ebuka drives for a living in Lagos, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 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 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 $200 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $125 • Labor charges: $60 • Towing and inspection: $15 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ebuka
