I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 six 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 $200 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Labor charges: $35
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $150
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Dimas?
Good luck, Dimas. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
