Get Ji-min back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Ji-min drives for a living in Seoul, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 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 $1,100 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $760
• Labor charges: $150
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Towing and inspection: $45
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
