Help Regina replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Regina drives for a living in Rosario, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 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 $200 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $125
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Guadalajara donated after I showed her your page.
