My motorbike: Marlene's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Marlene can't work; a $1,250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Labor charges: $270
• Towing and inspection: $75
• suspension replacement (parts): $905
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
