Get Naomi back on the road: my motorbike repair fund

Without my motorbike Naomi can't work; a $800 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $800. 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 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $800 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $260 • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $470 • Towing and inspection: $70 Glad we found this place. - Naomi

        Thinking of you and your family, Naomi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
