Help Karin replace the transmission and return to work
Without my motorbike Karin can't work; a $950 repair would put her back on the road.
🇳🇱 3077 DR, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands1,524 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $950. 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 ten 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 $950 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $440
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $160
• Towing and inspection: $150
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Karin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Karin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Denpasar so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Hope you get there. Thinking of Rotterdam.
So sorry you're going through this, Karin. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Hang in there, Karin. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 16 people at work. Love from Southampton!
