Get Mwende back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Mwende's my tuk-tuk is Mwende's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $100.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $100 goes:
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $15
With deep gratitude,
Mwende

Thinking of you and your family, Mwende. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Sacramento.
Keep going, Mwende. Small businesses are the heart of Kakamega. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Atlanta
