My pickup: Peace's only way to earn a living
Peace's my pickup is Peace's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $250.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,612 views
I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 twelve 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $250 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $135
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $40
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Peace.
Sending strength, Peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Take care, Peace. Hope this works out for you.
Hope it all works out, Peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
