My motorbike: Ayaan's only way to earn a living
Ayaan drives for a living in Rajkot, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $50
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Ayaan. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Petrópolis this morning. Greetings from Petrópolis.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Badagry so I could bring a meal. Love from București
Sending good thoughts. Small businesses are the heart of Rajkot. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
