Paloma needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Zapopan
Without my motorbike Paloma can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the suspension 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $200 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $90
• Labor charges: $65
• Towing and inspection: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Paloma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Manukau.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless!
Thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Zapopan
Wishing you peace, Paloma. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Zapopan.
take care. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
Best of luck, Paloma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Stay strong, Paloma. Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Boulogne-Billancourt!
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
Sending love, Paloma. Small businesses are the heart of Zapopan. Hope you're open again soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
