My motorbike: Trisha's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Trisha can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $175
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

We're at 22% thanks to 4 of you. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. More news soon. - Trisha
Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
