Hazel needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Mississauga
Hazel drives for a living in Mississauga, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 $1,900 goes:
• Labor charges: $200
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,500
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $200
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Hazel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Toulon.
You're not alone, Hazel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Mississauga
Take care. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Bandung but we're thinking of you.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. God bless.
sending love, Hazel. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Kilkenny
hope it all works out, Hazel. Small businesses are the heart of Mississauga. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Mississauga.
Good luck, Hazel. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Ekurhuleni donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Mississauga.
