Reiko needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Sakai
Reiko drives for a living in Sakai, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,600 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $1,200
• Labor charges: $170
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $180
• Towing and inspection: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.
