Help Cristina replace the transmission and return to work
Without my motorbike Cristina can't work; a $900 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 eleven 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 $900 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $400
• Labor charges: $210
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
• Towing and inspection: $135
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Cristina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Messina.
Thank you. If you're in Messina I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Cristina. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Messina.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Yonkers.
