Get Céline back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Without my motorbike Céline can't work; a $1,250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 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 $1,250 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $960
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $175
• Labor charges: $115
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Céline
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($120). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Update from Montpellier: the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 44% now ($550). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Céline?
Keep going. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best
Good luck, Céline. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Céline. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 19 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
