My taxi: Chebet's only way to earn a living
Chebet drives for a living in Embakasi, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the transmission 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $350 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $170
• Labor charges: $70
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $50
Thank you for reading my story.
