I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 eleven 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 $1,150 goes: • Labor charges: $240 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $850 • Towing and inspection: $60 Thank you so much. - Kai

        small businesses are the heart of Riverside. Hope you're open again soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.

            Good luck, Kai. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Kota
