I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $670
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $290
• Towing and inspection: $140
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Sorcha. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 40 people at work. Thinking of Dublin.
I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Dublin.
Hope things get better soon, Sorcha. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Dublin
Wishing you peace, Sorcha. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Stay strong, Sorcha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care!
