Liliana needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Wollongong
Liliana drives for a living in Wollongong, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 six 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 $1,050 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $420
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $360
• Towing and inspection: $155
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
rooting for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 36 people at work. Thinking of Wollongong.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Kozhikode.
Rooting for you, Liliana. Small businesses are the heart of Wollongong. Hope you're open again soon.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
sending good thoughts. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
