Avery needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Augusta
Without my pickup Avery can't work; a $1,050 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Labor charges: $200
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $710
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $140
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Avery
Good news. Because of your gifts ($303 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 3% thanks to 3 of you. I made the first payment toward labor charges. More news soon.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Avery?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about labor charges, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Sending love, Avery. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together
