Anywhere in the world1,249 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $650 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $380
• Labor charges: $130
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $105
• Towing and inspection: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
