Yakubu needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Enugu
Yakubu's my ride-share car is Yakubu's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $250.
🇳🇬 Enugu, Enugu, Nigeria853 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 family of five. 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:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $150
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going, Yakubu. Small businesses are the heart of Enugu. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Yakubu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Thinking of you, Yakubu. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Yakubu. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Enugu
