Juan needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Manila
Juan drives for a living in Manila, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $155
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $40
Every share and every dollar helps.
