My ride-share car: Temitope's only way to earn a living
Temitope's my ride-share car is Temitope's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $300.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,287 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $300 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $200
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Temitope
Good news. Because of your gifts ($177 in total) I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $132 raised so far (44%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
