Help Jerome replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Jerome drives for a living in Manila, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 4 weeks.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines1,090 views
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 $200. 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 six 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 $200 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $160
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Labor charges: $20
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending good thoughts, Jerome. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Multan.
Wishing you peace, Jerome. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 16 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
