I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,150. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $2,150 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,450
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $330
• Towing and inspection: $70
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
