Help André replace the gearbox and return to work

Without my motorbike André can't work; a $360 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $360. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $360 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $200 • Labor charges: $75 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $80 • Towing and inspection: $5 Every share and every dollar helps.
