Help Isabela replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Without my ride-share car Isabela can't work; a $400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 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 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 $400 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $210
• Labor charges: $85
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $50
If you're reading this, thank you.
