Help Ignacio replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Ignacio drives for a living in Móstoles, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 four 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 $650 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $360
• Labor charges: $95
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $115
• Towing and inspection: $80
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
