Get Parker back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Parker's my delivery van is Parker's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $1,100.
🇦🇺 Perth, Western Australia, Australia974 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 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 $1,100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $70
• Labor charges: $230
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $800
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending love, Parker. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Parker. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thinking of you and your family, Parker. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Perth.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about towing and inspection, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
stay strong, Parker. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
thinking of you, Parker. Hope you make a strong comeback. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
