Get Silvia back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Silvia drives for a living in Brescia, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $750. 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 nine 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 $750 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $370
• Labor charges: $90
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $170
• Towing and inspection: $120

wishing you peace, Silvia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 7 people at work.

Wishing you the best. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
