Get Rahel back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Rahel's my motorbike is Rahel's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $115.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $115. 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 nine 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 $115 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $55
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rahel!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. radiator and cooling system replacement (parts) is the biggest at $55. It helps to be asked.
keep going, Rahel. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Bonny.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rahel?
Thank you. If you're in Hawassa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Rome this morning. Blessings
Hang in there, Rahel. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thinking of you, Rahel. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Salem.
Hope things get better soon, Rahel. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. After 23 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Take care. Shared this with my family. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Praying for you, Rahel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thinking of you, Rahel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings!
