Annelie needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Richards Bay
Annelie's my pickup is Annelie's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $350.
🇿🇦 Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa487 views
I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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:
• Towing and inspection: $35
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $280
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
Glad we found this place.

Hang in there, Annelie. Shared it with a few friends. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Richards Bay.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Annelie?
