Nneka needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Onitsha
Without my tuk-tuk Nneka can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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): $75
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
