My motorbike: Roberto's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Roberto can't work; a $550 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $550 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $310
• Labor charges: $95
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $100
• Towing and inspection: $45
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Roberto. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Take care, Roberto. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
You're not alone, Roberto. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hope things get better soon, Roberto. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Bandung.
Thanks for sharing this, Roberto. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Lalitpur this morning.
