Help Ismael replace the rear axle and return to work
Ismael's my motorbike is Ismael's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $250.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the rear axle 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $250 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• rear axle replacement (parts): $200
• Towing and inspection: $15
Thanks for being kind about this.
