I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working. I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $250 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $160 • Labor charges: $35 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $45 • Towing and inspection: $10 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Njoroge

  1. Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($46). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Quick update: $46 raised so far (18%). I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
