Help Brett replace the suspension and return to work
Without my motorbike Brett cannot work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the suspension 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 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 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 $250 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Brett.
Sure. The biggest one is suspension replacement (parts), $120. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Istanbul donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
