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. - Mairead
