Help Shruthi replace the suspension and return to work
Without my motorbike Shruthi can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the suspension 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 family of five. 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.
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:
• suspension replacement (parts): $110
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 15 people at work
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Madurai.
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Shruthi. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Scranton.
Sending strength. Hope you make a strong comeback. My neighbor in Chennai donated after I showed her your page. Love from Chennai.
