Help Adalynn replace the engine head gasket and return to work

Without my delivery van Adalynn can't work; a $1,400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,400 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $990 • Labor charges: $180 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $135 • Towing and inspection: $95 Thank you so much.
