My motorbike: Mikhail's only way to earn a living
Mikhail drives for a living in Dnipro, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 $250 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $105
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dnipro
Thank you. If you're in Dnipro I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Dnipro.
Take care. Small businesses are the heart of Dnipro. Hope you're open again soon. My neighbor in Jaffna donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
