I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 eleven 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 $600 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $470 • Labor charges: $50 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $50 • Towing and inspection: $30 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Wojciech

  1. Quick update: $307 raised so far (51%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Warsaw: I made the first payment toward labor charges. We're at 41% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
