My motorbike: Arianna's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Arianna can't work; a $800 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $310
• Towing and inspection: $50
• Labor charges: $440
Thank you so much.
Updates from Arianna
Quick update: $255 raised so far (32%). the plan for towing and inspection is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from St. Louis: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
6% there. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. Thank you.

Thinking of you and your family, Arianna. Hope you make a strong comeback. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Fort Worth
