Esther needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Amsterdam
Esther drives for a living in Amsterdam, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,450. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $90
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,200
• Labor charges: $160
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck, Esther. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
