My motorbike: Alessia's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Alessia cannot work; a $450 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 family of five. 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 $450 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $105
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $160
• Labor charges: $185
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck, Alessia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Rome.
Rooting for you, Alessia. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Rome.
Keep going, Alessia. Small businesses are the heart of Rome. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
so sorry you're going through this, Alessia. Hope you get there. All the best.
take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
