I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 2 children. 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 $150 goes: โ€ข Labor charges: $20 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $10 โ€ข engine head gasket replacement (parts): $120 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
