My motorbike: Brendan's only way to earn a living

Without my motorbike Brendan can't work; a $1,700 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,700 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $310 • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,300 • Towing and inspection: $90 Glad we found this place. - Brendan

Updates from Brendan

  1. 42% there. I made the first payment toward clutch assembly replacement. Thank you.

  2. Update from Dublin: I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. We're at 37% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($125). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

      So sorry you're going through this. Hope you make a strong comeback. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • thinking of you and your family, Brendan. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        • sending strength. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update.

          • Hope it all works out, Brendan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.

            • take care, Brendan. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Los Angeles.
