Help Chen replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Chen's my taxi is Chen's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $450.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $450 goes:
• Labor charges: $155
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $240
• Towing and inspection: $55
With deep gratitude,
Chen

Good luck, Chen. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Laredo.
Hope things get better soon, Chen. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to San Francisco so I could bring a meal. Take care
keep going, Chen. Small businesses are the heart of Haifa. Hope you're open again soon. All the best.
sending good thoughts, Chen. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!
Sending good thoughts. Hope the shop reopens soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Haifa.
Praying for you, Chen. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Blessings
thinking of you, Chen. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
