Yağmur needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Konya
Without my motorbike Yağmur can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $350 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $200
• Labor charges: $90
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $15
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

sending good thoughts, Yağmur. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Amsterdam.
Thinking of you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Udaipur!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yağmur
Sure. The biggest one is fuel pump replacement (parts), $200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Konya. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Konya.
Wishing you the best, Yağmur. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Yağmur. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
