My motorbike: Cameron's only way to earn a living
Cameron's my motorbike is Cameron's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $1,700.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States1,431 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 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 six 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 $1,700 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $165
• gearbox replacement (parts): $1,250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $285
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Cameron
Update from San Antonio: the plan for gearbox replacement is now scheduled. We're at 54% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($290). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal.

Rooting for you, Cameron. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Gazipur!
Stay strong, Cameron. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Gwagwalada donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there, Cameron. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Praying for you, Cameron. Hope this works out for you.
hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of San Antonio. Hope you're open again soon
