Tayo needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Kano
Tayo's my motorbike is Tayo's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $150.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,100 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $150 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $65
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kano
Praying for you, Tayo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted!
Sending love, Tayo. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Tayo. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier
keep going, Tayo. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Radom this morning. God bless.
