Get Scarlett back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Scarlett's my motorbike is Scarlett's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $1,600.
🇺🇸 Memphis, Tennessee, United States2,000 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 3 children. 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 $1,600 goes:
• Labor charges: $290
• Towing and inspection: $100
• transmission replacement (parts): $1,210
Thank you so much.

Good luck, Scarlett. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Dhaka.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Memphis
Thank you. If you're in Memphis I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Arlington
Take care, Scarlett. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Dehiwala donated after I showed her your page
