I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 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 $1,150 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $750 • Labor charges: $290 • Towing and inspection: $110 Glad we found this place. - Gregory

Updates from Gregory

  1. Small update. $611 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($356 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Thinking of you and your family, Gregory. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up.

      Rooting for you, Gregory. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
