Get Tabitha back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Tabitha's my delivery van is Tabitha's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $205.
🇹🇿 Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania548 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $205. 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 eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $205 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• gearbox replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $5
If you're reading this, thank you.

take care. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
how is Tabitha doing now?
good luck, Tabitha. It takes guts to ask. Well done
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Guarulhos but we're thinking of you
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Çankaya.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Fresno
stay strong. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't give up. Take care.
