Mary who lives in Port Harcourt said that all the money she had saved up is fast running out as there are no sources of income.

The lady disclosed that at a point in those months, she told herself that if nothing turns up, she will go into driving for a taxi-hailing service.

Mary added that she would excel in that as she is already a good driver with an amazing customer service experience.

The lady, therefore, called for help, asking people to connect her with any hire purchase dealership that could give a car on an installment payment plan.

“After all, the only way after hitting rock bottom is going upward.”
