Help Faith replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Faith drives for a living in Belfast, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,400 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $310
• Labor charges: $200
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $890
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Faith. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Islamabad
