I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,300 goes: โ€ข engine head gasket replacement (parts): $670 โ€ข Labor charges: $310 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $145 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $175 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Laura
