Ruth needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Mombasa

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the gearbox 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 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $250 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 • Labor charges: $65 • gearbox replacement (parts): $145 Every share and every dollar helps. - Ruth
