Ouma needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Kasarani
Ouma's my motorbike is Ouma's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $300.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya697 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $300 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $30
• Labor charges: $60
• suspension replacement (parts): $210

Thinking of you, Ouma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Vancouver.
Wishing you peace, Ouma. Small businesses are the heart of Kasarani. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
