Help Hellen replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Without my ride-share car Hellen cannot work; a $100 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $75
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Hellen. Hope the shop reopens soon. Sent it to 6 people at work. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.
good luck, Hellen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.
Best of luck. Small businesses are the heart of Dar es Salaam. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Hellen. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
