Get Birtukan back on the road: my delivery van repair fund

Birtukan drives for a living in Hawassa, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 3 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $105. 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 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $105 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $75 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $25 • Towing and inspection: $5 If you're reading this, thank you. - Birtukan
