My delivery van: Muthoni's only way to earn a living
Muthoni drives for a living in Mombasa, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $350 goes:
• Labor charges: $65
• Towing and inspection: $25
• gearbox replacement (parts): $260
Thank you so much.

thinking of you and your family, Muthoni. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Rochester.
sending love, Muthoni. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. All the best
