Help Moumita replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Without my taxi Moumita can't work; a $100 repair would put her back on the road.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,055 views
I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $50
If you're reading this, thank you.
