I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $115
• Towing and inspection: $40
• Labor charges: $95
With deep gratitude,
Alexander

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kyiv.
Thank you. If you're in Kyiv I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the shop reopens soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Kasarani.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Mumbai.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Nagpur this morning. Love from Nagpur.
stay strong, Alexander. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Blessings
