Faith needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Kasarani
Faith's my taxi is Faith's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $300.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya454 views
I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the suspension 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $140
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Jaffna.
Keep going. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Kasarani
Praying for you, Faith. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. God bless.
good luck, Faith. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Kasarani.
Take care, Faith. Small businesses are the heart of Kasarani. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Regensburg.
