Get Nadia back on the road: my delivery van repair fund

Nadia drives for a living in Soweto, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 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 $550 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $350 • Labor charges: $90 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $45 • Towing and inspection: $65 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Nadia

    Thinking of you and your family, Nadia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Spanish Town this morning!
