Savar
I make my living with my food truck. 3 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 Road tax and insurance renewal: $15 โ€ข Labor charges: $40 โ€ข engine head gasket replacement (parts): $95 Thank you for reading my story. - Runa

      The list at the bottom is the whole picture. road tax and insurance renewal is the biggest at $15. Thanks, that means a lot.
