Get Thomas back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Thomas's my motorbike is Thomas's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $1,700.
🇺🇸 Colorado, United States1,662 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 eleven 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 $1,700 goes:
• Labor charges: $360
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $380
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $960
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Thomas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
