Nyambura needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Kikuyu
Nyambura drives for a living in Kikuyu, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out, Nyambura. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Mar del Plata.
thinking of you and your family, Nyambura. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. All the best
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. God bless.
Good luck, Nyambura. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Kikuyu.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Kikuyu.
Thinking of you and your family, Nyambura. Hope this works out for you. Love from Quezon City.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Kisumu so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Kikuyu.
you're not alone, Nyambura. Looking forward to the next update
