Help Tayyaba replace the engine head gasket and return to work
Without my ride-share car Tayyaba can't work; a $150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $150 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $105
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $10
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
How is Tayyaba doing now?
stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Vigo.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 20 people at work.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Tayyaba. I hope things turn around soon.
