I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,000 goes: โ€ข engine head gasket replacement (parts): $430 โ€ข Labor charges: $260 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $260 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $50 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Best of luck, Laura. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Chattogram this morning.

    • Brenda W. Reed

      So sorry you're going through this, Laura. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 26 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything

      • Alka N. Nanda

        hope things get better soon, Laura. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't give up. Greetings from Lalitpur.

            thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
