My motorbike: Angel's only way to earn a living
Angel drives for a living in Rochester, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,650 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $880
• Labor charges: $430
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $240
• Towing and inspection: $100
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Angel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Wishing you the best, Angel. Hope the shop reopens soon. God bless.
Praying for you, Angel. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Angel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Sending strength, Angel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Cairo
