My motorbike: Mairead's only way to earn a living
Mairead drives for a living in Kilkenny, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,250
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $300
• Towing and inspection: $150
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
