I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $800. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $800 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $380
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $105
• Towing and inspection: $115
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Lawrence
Update from Edinburgh: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 15% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Lawrence
Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($120). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
We're at 3% thanks to 1 of you. I made the first payment toward radiator and cooling system replacement. More news soon.

Thanks for sharing this, Lawrence. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Kyiv.
Hang in there, Lawrence. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Blessings
Keep going, Lawrence. Hope you get there.
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Shinjuku!
