I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 wife and our newborn. 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 $1,700 goes: • Labor charges: $310 • suspension replacement (parts): $1,300 • Towing and inspection: $90 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • is there anything that isn't money that would help Axel?

      Hope it all works out, Axel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking

      • Sending good thoughts, Axel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Petrópolis.

        • hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Lille

          • You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

            • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Axel

              • Axel D. BowmanOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

                Sure. The biggest one is labor charges, $310. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.

            • your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Feira de Santana.

              • Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Leeds this morning.

                • Hope things get better soon. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

                  • Praying for you. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best

                    • This could happen to any of us. Love from East London.

                        Keep going, Axel. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Çankaya so I could bring a meal.
