Help Sabbir replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Without my delivery van Sabbir cannot work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 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 family of five. 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 $150 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $95
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• Labor charges: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Sabbir. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sabbir!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. engine head gasket replacement (parts) is the biggest at $95. Thanks, that means a lot.
stay strong, Sabbir. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless!
Stay strong, Sabbir. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Arusha so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Savar.
Thinking of you and your family, Sabbir. Looking forward to the next update.
