Get Ekow back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Without my motorbike Ekow can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $150 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $105
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Labor charges: $35
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ekow
Fuel pump replacement (parts) is $105 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Stay strong, Ekow. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Accra.
thinking of you and your family, Ekow. Shared it with a few friends. All the best!
Best of luck. Small businesses are the heart of Accra. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Keep going, Ekow. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Accra.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Newcastle upon Tyne.
Wishing you the best, Ekow. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Keep going, Ekow. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Üsküdar.
