Get Patrizia back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Patrizia's my motorbike is Patrizia's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $1,050.
🇮🇹 Italy2,040 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 1 children. 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 $1,050 goes:
• Labor charges: $190
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• gearbox replacement (parts): $785
If you're reading this, thank you.

shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Wudil but we're thinking of you.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Patrizia.
It's all in the list in the story. labor charges is the big one at $190, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Hope you make a strong comeback. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up
You're not alone, Patrizia. Shared this with my family
