Help Skylar replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Skylar drives for a living in Oakland, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,550 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,000
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $280
• Towing and inspection: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.
