I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the suspension 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $800 goes: • Labor charges: $260 • suspension replacement (parts): $440 • Towing and inspection: $100 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Adalynn

  1. Thank you all. We're at 44% now ($349). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  2. We're at 32% thanks to 10 of you. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($190 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Adalynn
