Get Ariana back on the road: my motorbike repair fund

Without my motorbike Ariana can't work; a $1,550 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,550 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $970 • Labor charges: $290 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $160 • Towing and inspection: $130 Every share and every dollar helps. - Ariana
