Get Mahmoud back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Mahmoud's my pickup is Mahmoud's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $250.
Anywhere in the world1,405 views
I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 ten 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 $250 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $115
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $50
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon, Mahmoud. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Greetings from San Francisco
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Alexandria
Thank you. If you're in Alexandria I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
you're not alone, Mahmoud. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Mahmoud. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from London.
