Mariana needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Fortaleza

Without my motorbike Mariana can't work; a $500 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $500 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $400 • Towing and inspection: $15 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $85 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Mariana

  • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Fortaleza

    • Thanks for sharing this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
