Joon-woo needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Seoul
Without my motorbike Joon-woo can't work; a $800 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $800. 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 $800 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $35
• transmission replacement (parts): $610
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Joon-woo?
stay strong, Joon-woo. Hope you make a strong comeback. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
sending strength, Joon-woo. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Aswan this morning.
Best of luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
