Dolores needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Madrid

Dolores drives for a living in Madrid, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $800. 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 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 $800 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $390 • Labor charges: $120 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $190 • Towing and inspection: $100 Thanks for reading all this.

    • Noor Nadia TahaQuestion

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dolores.

      • Dolores A. LunaOwnerAnswer

        It's all in the list in the story. rear axle replacement (parts) is the big one at $390, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.

    • Hannah Yvonne Frimpong

      It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Depok!

      • Gustavo T. Cordero

        Hope things get better soon, Dolores. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Austin.
