Help Mugisha replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Mugisha's my motorbike is Mugisha's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $150.

I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $150 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $110
• Labor charges: $30
With deep gratitude,
Mugisha

Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Love from Ottawa.
Take care, Mugisha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Mugisha. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mugisha!
Towing and inspection is $10 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
keep going, Mugisha. Hope you get there. Thinking of Mombasa.

Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Dwarka donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
