Paisley needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Parramatta
Paisley drives for a living in Parramatta, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,200 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $590
• Labor charges: $380
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $150
• Towing and inspection: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Paisley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Stellenbosch.
