My motorbike: Raimundo's only way to earn a living
Raimundo drives for a living in Guarulhos, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $350 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $195
• Labor charges: $85
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $20
With deep gratitude,
Raimundo

Thinking of you, Raimundo. Small businesses are the heart of Guarulhos. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care!
Wishing you the best, Raimundo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page.
So sorry you're going through this, Raimundo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Guarulhos. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
