Get Paolo back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Paolo drives for a living in Latina, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $750
• Towing and inspection: $140
• Labor charges: $210
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Dhaka but we're thinking of you. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Latina.
Sending strength, Paolo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
