I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $500 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $370 • Towing and inspection: $40 • Labor charges: $90 Glad we found this place. - Javier

Updates from Javier

Good news. Because of your gifts ($527 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $360 so far, I made the first payment toward towing and inspection.
Update from Ciudad de México: I made the first payment toward labor charges. We're at 49% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
