Help María replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my motorbike María can't work; a $700 repair would put her back on the road.
🇪🇸 Granada, Andalusia, Spain1,289 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $700 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $320
• Labor charges: $185
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $100
• Towing and inspection: $95
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, María. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you and your family, María. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Love from Jakarta Selatan
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Essen but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Granada.
Best of luck, María. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Newport.
thanks for sharing this, María. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
wishing you peace, María. Hope you get there. Blessings
