I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $140
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Labor charges: $65
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this, Funmilayo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
you're not alone. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Sydney.
