My motorbike: Elaine's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Elaine can't work; a $400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $400 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $300
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $15
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Ikeja
