Get Young-ho back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Without my motorbike Young-ho can't work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.
🇰🇷 Seoul, Seoul, South Korea1,777 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 three 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 $300 goes:
• Labor charges: $145
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $105
• Towing and inspection: $50

you're not alone. Small businesses are the heart of Seoul. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Blessings
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. God bless
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Jakarta Barat.

rooting for you, Young-ho. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Rooting for you, Young-ho. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Young-ho
Labor charges is $145 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Small businesses are the heart of Seoul. Hope you're open again soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Leeds.
Keep going, Young-ho. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Young-ho. Hope this works out for you.
hope it all works out, Young-ho. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

Wishing you peace, Young-ho. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
