Help Hailey replace the engine head gasket and return to work

Without my school-run minibus Hailey can't work; a $1,850 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 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 $1,850 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,250 • Labor charges: $300 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $160 • Towing and inspection: $140 Glad we found this place.

Update from Newcastle: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
