Get Isabela back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Without my motorbike Isabela can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $195
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $85
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Isabela
Small update. $250 so far, I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal.

Thanks for sharing this, Isabela. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
