Help Luís replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Luís drives for a living in Campinas, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 family of five. 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 $450 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $350
• Towing and inspection: $20
If you're reading this, thank you.
