Help Anisur replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Anisur drives for a living in Dhaka, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 5 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 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.
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:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $85
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $15
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Anisur
Good news. Because of your gifts ($38 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Good luck, Anisur. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Love from Ikeja
Wishing you peace, Anisur. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
you're not alone, Anisur. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Brampton
