Get Antoine back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund

Antoine drives for a living in Grenoble, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $1,650 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,050 • Labor charges: $240 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $230 • Towing and inspection: $130 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      So sorry you're going through this, Antoine. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal

        Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours
