I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 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 $250 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $150 • Labor charges: $55 • Towing and inspection: $45 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Alp

Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection.
