Get Sergei back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Sergei drives for a living in Moscow, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $400 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $280
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 20 people at work. God bless
Praying for you, Sergei. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Moscow.
