I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 ten 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 $1,700 goes: โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $145 โ€ข Labor charges: $320 โ€ข transmission replacement (parts): $1,235 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Aubree

  • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Turin.
