Get Ssebuliba back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Without my pickup Ssebuliba can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the suspension 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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:
• suspension replacement (parts): $95
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $5
Thank you for reading my story.
Updates from Ssebuliba
Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward suspension replacement.
Update from Kisumu: we've started the first stage. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Kisumu!
Hope it all works out, Ssebuliba. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Wishing you the best, Ssebuliba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Kisumu.
Wishing you peace, Ssebuliba. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Los Angeles!
