Vikas's my motorbike is Vikas's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $150.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $150 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $75
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $15
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there, Vikas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Buenos Aires.
