I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $100 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $15 • Towing and inspection: $20 • Labor charges: $65 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Shefali

  1. Quick update: $109 raised so far (109%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $34 so far, I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 30% funded and we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. - Shefali

  • gave what I could, wish it was more. After 20 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
