Help Marisol replace the engine head gasket and return to work

Without my pickup Marisol can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 eleven 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $350 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $185 • Labor charges: $85 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $45 • Towing and inspection: $35 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
