Help Atim replace the engine head gasket and return to work

Without my ride-share car Atim can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $300 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $175 • Labor charges: $20 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $60 • Towing and inspection: $45 With deep gratitude, Atim

          Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
