I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $150 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $100 • Labor charges: $15 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $15 • Towing and inspection: $20 I hope life is good to you. - Zainab
