My motorbike: Georgia's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Georgia can't work; a $600 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 ten 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 $600 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $350
• Labor charges: $70
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $90
• Towing and inspection: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Georgia
Good news. Because of your gifts ($243 in total) I made the first payment toward radiator and cooling system replacement. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Georgia.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. radiator and cooling system replacement (parts) is the biggest at $350. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you, Georgia. Hope you make a strong comeback. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Athens.
