My motorbike: Isabella's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Isabella can't work; a $1,700 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $990
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• Towing and inspection: $210
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
