My pickup: Zainab's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Zainab can't work; a $155 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $155. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $155 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $90
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Zainab. I hope things turn around soon
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zainab!

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Lagos.
