I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 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 $200 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $135 • Towing and inspection: $15 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $50 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Ahmad

  1. Quick update: $186 raised so far (93%). I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Ubud: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
