I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 four 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 $1,150 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $790
• Labor charges: $130
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $105
• Towing and inspection: $125
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Colombo.
thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
