Get Roberto back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Without my delivery van Roberto can't work; a $650 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 three months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $650 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $480
• Labor charges: $90
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• Towing and inspection: $5
Glad we found this place.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 26 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Rooting for you, Roberto. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
