Help Pedro replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Pedro's my food truck is Pedro's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $350.

I make my living with my food truck. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $350 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $245

how is Pedro doing now?
Best of luck, Pedro. Small businesses are the heart of Buenos Aires. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Philadelphia.
keep going, Pedro. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Stay strong, Pedro. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
Good luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
