Help Kevin replace the clutch assembly and return to work

Without my motorbike Kevin cannot work; a $1,300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,300 goes: • Labor charges: $165 • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,050 • Towing and inspection: $85 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

        It's all in the list in the story. labor charges is the big one at $165, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
