Help Dola replace the gearbox and return to work
Without my motorbike Dola can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $150
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $20
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page!
