My motorbike: Romeo's only way to earn a living
Romeo drives for a living in Davao City, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $200 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $15
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $165

Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Bakersfield.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Chicago.
Hope it all works out, Romeo. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
