Help Gunnar replace the rear axle and return to work

Gunnar drives for a living in Gothenburg, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 $1,000 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $550 • Labor charges: $110 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $180 • Towing and inspection: $160 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
