Help Mahnoor replace the gearbox and return to work
Mahnoor drives for a living in Lahore, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $210. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $210 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $155
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• Towing and inspection: $5
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you peace, Mahnoor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope June is when things finally get easier. God bless
Take care, Mahnoor. Shared it with a few friends.
keep going. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Lahore
Sending strength, Mahnoor. Small businesses are the heart of Lahore. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
