Get Santiago back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Without my motorbike Santiago can't work; a $1,800 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the suspension 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $1,800 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $940
• Labor charges: $390
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $310
• Towing and inspection: $160
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the shop reopens soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
