Help Njoroge replace the rear axle and return to work
Njoroge drives for a living in Mombasa, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 6 weeks.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya500 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 weeks ago the rear axle 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 3 children. 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:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $125
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $45
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mombasa.
thinking of you, Njoroge. Hope you get there.
Thanks for sharing this, Njoroge. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
