My ride-share car: Anyango's only way to earn a living
Anyango drives for a living in Jinja, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $260. 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 nine 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 $260 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $195
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Anyango. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Istanbul donated after I showed her your page.
Good luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Small businesses are the heart of Jinja. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Lagos
