Get Mwangi back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Mwangi drives for a living in Naivasha, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $170
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $20
Thanks for reading all this.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Naivasha.
Thank you. If you're in Naivasha I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
best of luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Naivasha
shared it with a few friends. Love from Palermo.
Hope this works out for you. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
