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
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.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Pune
Thanks for sharing this, Axel. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 11 people at work. Blessings!
hang in there, Axel. This could happen to any of us.
