Get Mateo back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Without my pickup Mateo can't work; a $600 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 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 $600 goes:
• Labor charges: $200
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $350
• Towing and inspection: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
