Atim needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Embakasi
Atim drives for a living in Embakasi, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $300 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $10
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
