Get Naliaka back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Naliaka drives for a living in Kinondoni, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 nine 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 $200 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.

thanks for sharing this, Naliaka. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the shop reopens soon. Love from Pretoria
