My motorbike: Jide's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Jide can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $150 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $25
• gearbox replacement (parts): $85
• Labor charges: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Gdańsk.
praying for you, Jide. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
