Get Mónica back on the road: my pickup repair fund

Without my pickup Mónica can't work; a $450 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 eleven 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $450 goes: • Labor charges: $180 • Towing and inspection: $80 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $190 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Mónica

    Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Bilbao!
