My motorbike: Zubby's only way to earn a living
Zubby's my motorbike is Zubby's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $250.

I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $175
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $15
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Zubby?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about radiator and cooling system replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Awka.
Thinking of you and your family, Zubby. 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. All the best.
hope it all works out. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Guadalajara but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Guadalajara
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zubby!
you're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in San Francisco this morning. Blessings.
hope it all works out, Zubby. Hope this works out for you. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
rooting for you. Hope the shop reopens soon
take care, Zubby. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope you get there. After 22 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
