Get Mukasa back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Mukasa drives for a living in Kasarani, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya955 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $350 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $25
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $275
Thank you for reading my story.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Mukasa?
Thank you. If you're in Kasarani I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Hope you make a strong comeback. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mukasa.
Road tax and insurance renewal is $50 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Mumbai.
Hope the shop reopens soon. After 27 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
