Elise needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Toulon
Without my motorbike Elise can't work; a $1,500 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,250
• Towing and inspection: $100
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $150
Glad we found this place.

hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Toulon
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Leeds so I could bring a meal.
