I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 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 $150 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $30
• Labor charges: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Mwende
Thank you all. We're at 60% now ($90). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal.
Update from Kasarani: I made the first payment toward labor charges. We're at 47% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
