Get Barasa back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Barasa's my taxi is Barasa's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $265.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya833 views
I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $265. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $265 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $5

thanks for sharing this, Barasa. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Best of luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Mombasa
Thinking of you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Mombasa.
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Coimbatore so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Accra.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 13 people at work. Blessings.
