Help Mugisha replace the gearbox and return to work
Mugisha drives for a living in Kasarani, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 ten 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 $250 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $180
• Labor charges: $50
• Towing and inspection: $20
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending strength, Mugisha. Small businesses are the heart of Kasarani. Hope you're open again soon. My husband and I read this together.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Denpasar!
