Da-eun needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Gangnam
Without my motorbike Da-eun can't work; a $1,000 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,000 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $570
• Labor charges: $160
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $40
Thanks for reading all this.

so sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Bursa so I could bring a meal. Love from Envigado.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Gangnam
So sorry you're going through this, Da-eun. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Da-eun. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Da-eun?
Thank you. If you're in Gangnam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Keep going. Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Praying for you, Da-eun. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Da-eun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Gangnam.
This could happen to any of us. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Tokyo.
this could happen to any of us. Love from Louisville.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Kadıköy
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
you're not alone. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Nashville
