Ruby needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Houston
Ruby drives for a living in Houston, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,100. 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 1 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,450
• Labor charges: $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $300
• Towing and inspection: $80
Glad we found this place.

Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($155). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for towing and inspection is now scheduled.
