Help Irene replace the gearbox and return to work
Irene drives for a living in Kinondoni, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $50. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $50 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Labor charges: $15
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Irene. Your post was clear and honest.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
