Get John back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
John drives for a living in Embakasi, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $240
• Towing and inspection: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hang in there, John. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you peace, John. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending love, John. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
