I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $100 goes:
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Siliguri.
Wishing you the best. Small businesses are the heart of Siliguri. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
