Help Emery replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Without my taxi Emery can't work; a $1,400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $1,400 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $750
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $240
• Towing and inspection: $160
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love, Emery. Small businesses are the heart of Birmingham. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
sending love, Emery. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Padua so I could bring a meal!
Good luck, Emery. Shared this with my family.
