I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 weeks ago the rear axle 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 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $250 goes: • Labor charges: $60 • rear axle replacement (parts): $130 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $60 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Good luck, Ittipol. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Ibadan so I could bring a meal

      Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
