Petra needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Augsburg
Without my motorbike Petra can't work; a $1,900 repair would put her back on the road.
🇩🇪 Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany1,543 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 wife and our newborn. 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 $1,900 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $165
• Towing and inspection: $145
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
