Get Ritu back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Ritu's my motorbike is Ritu's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $200.
🇮🇳 Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India689 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 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 $200 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $140
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $5
Thank you so much.

sending good thoughts. Hope you make a strong comeback. My neighbor in Ciudad de México donated after I showed her your page. Love from Ciudad de México.
Stay strong, Ritu. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Chennai
Best of luck, Ritu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. All the best.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Parramatta this morning. God bless.
