My motorbike: Joyce's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Joyce can't work; a $165 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $165. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $165 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $105
• Labor charges: $55
• Towing and inspection: $5
