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

Without my delivery van Yuna can't work; a $1,000 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 eleven 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 $1,000 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $290 • Labor charges: $170 • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $540 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Yuna
