My pickup: Mugisha's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Mugisha can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 twelve 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 $200 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $125
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $15
With deep gratitude,
Mugisha
