Salim needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Marrakesh
Salim drives for a living in Marrakesh, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the gearbox 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $200 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Labor charges: $25
• gearbox replacement (parts): $115
Thanks for reading all this.
