Get Philipp back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Philipp's my motorbike is Philipp's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $1,800.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany2,081 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,800. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $1,800 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,100
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $290
• Towing and inspection: $160
With deep gratitude,
Philipp

Thinking of you, Philipp. Small businesses are the heart of Berlin. Hope you're open again soon. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.

You're not alone, Philipp. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Riverside so I could bring a meal.
