Sade needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Lagos
Without my taxi Sade can't work; a $150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 family of five. 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 $150 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• transmission replacement (parts): $75
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Lagos
Take care, Sade. Small businesses are the heart of Lagos. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Nice.
So sorry you're going through this, Sade. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Naivasha
wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. After 6 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Denver!
wishing you the best, Sade. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
