Help Arianna replace the engine head gasket and return to work

Arianna drives for a living in Vancouver, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,450. 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $1,450 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $980 • Labor charges: $250 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $180 • Towing and inspection: $40 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Arianna

  2. 35% there. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Thank you. - Arianna

  3. Quick update: $335 raised so far (23%). the plan for labor charges is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
