I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $20

Wishing you peace, Carlo. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Wishing you the best, Carlo. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Manila!
How is Carlo doing now?
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Love from Rajkot.
hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Wishing you peace, Carlo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you and your family, Carlo. I hope things turn around soon.
