Get Flávio back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Flávio drives for a living in São Paulo, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 four 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 $400 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $250
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $45
With deep gratitude,
Flávio

Rooting for you. Small businesses are the heart of São Paulo. Hope you're open again soon!
best of luck, Flávio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Cairo!
Hang in there, Flávio. Small businesses are the heart of São Paulo. Hope you're open again soon.
