My school-run minibus: Danjuma's only way to earn a living
Without my school-run minibus Danjuma can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the transmission 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $200 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $105
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $25
If you're reading this, thank you.

wishing you the best, Danjuma. Small businesses are the heart of Lagos. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Danjuma?
hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
