I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 family of five. 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 $900 goes: โ€ข gearbox replacement (parts): $430 โ€ข Labor charges: $240 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $130 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $100 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
