I make my living with my food truck. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $450 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $240
• Labor charges: $100
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $90
• Towing and inspection: $20
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
