Leyla needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in İzmir

Leyla drives for a living in İzmir, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 four 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 $400 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $270 • Labor charges: $75 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 • Towing and inspection: $15 If you're reading this, thank you. - Leyla

    Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
