Alexander needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Kharkiv
Alexander drives for a living in Kharkiv, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $260. 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 $260 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $155
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $5
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Zapopan but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Zapopan.
hope this works out for you. Sent it to 33 people at work. Love from Cairo.
Hang in there, Alexander. Hope you make a strong comeback. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kharkiv
Thanks for sharing this, Alexander. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
Keep going, Alexander. Small businesses are the heart of Kharkiv. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
