I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $500 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $55
• Labor charges: $220
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $225
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

How is Samantha doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Samantha. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Praying for you, Samantha. Shared this with my family.
Take care. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Sheffield!
