Help Chitra replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Without my motorbike Chitra cannot work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $200 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $125
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $25
Thanks for reading all this.

sending love. Hope you get there. Thinking of Mumbai.
so sorry you're going through this, Chitra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Take care
you're not alone, Chitra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
you're not alone. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
