My motorbike: Karim's only way to earn a living
Karim drives for a living in Nizamabad, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 eleven 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 $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $20
• transmission replacement (parts): $160
• Towing and inspection: $20
If you're reading this, thank you.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nizamabad
Hope things get better soon, Karim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Take care, Karim. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Sending love. Hope the shop reopens soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Hope it all works out, Karim. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care.
