Get Mukasa back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Mukasa drives for a living in Kinondoni, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $150 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $95
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
If you're reading this, thank you.
