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
