My motorbike: Varun's only way to earn a living

Without my motorbike Varun can't work; a $850 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $850. 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 family of five. 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $850 goes: • Labor charges: $270 • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $490 • Towing and inspection: $90 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Varun

  1. Thank you all. We're at 75% now ($640). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward labor charges.

      Sending good thoughts, Varun. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Feira de Santana this morning. God bless.
