My motorbike: Valentina's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Valentina can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $90
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $90
• Towing and inspection: $20
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Valentina. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Guadalajara so I could bring a meal. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares
