Help Tim replace the suspension and return to work

Without my motorbike Tim can't work; a $1,300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the suspension 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 twelve 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,300 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $680 • Labor charges: $140 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $310 • Towing and inspection: $170 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    rooting for you, Tim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 14 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless

      This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Likoni so I could bring a meal

        small businesses are the heart of Rotterdam. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Rotterdam.

            Take care, Tim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Corpus Christi
