My motorbike: Kemal's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Kemal can't work; a $500 repair would put him back on the road.
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye632 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $500 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $360
• Labor charges: $75
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $25
With deep gratitude,
Kemal

Thank you all. We're at 31% now ($155). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection.
Update from Kadıköy: we've started the first stage. We're at 31% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $55 raised so far (11%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
