I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 nine 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,300 goes: • Labor charges: $230 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $900 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $170 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - David
