Get Roman back on the road: my delivery van repair fund

Roman drives for a living in Birmingham, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $1,050 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $460 • Labor charges: $240 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $250 • Towing and inspection: $100 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Sending good thoughts, Roman. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

      I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 6 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.

            Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
