Kiptoo needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Mombasa
Kiptoo's my motorbike is Kiptoo's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $100.

I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Labor charges: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you, Kiptoo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 18 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Khon Kaen donated after I showed her your page. Love from Khon Kaen
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. All the best
