Isaac needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Ogbomosho
Isaac drives for a living in Ogbomosho, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 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 eleven 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:
• Labor charges: $20
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $135
• Towing and inspection: $45
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ogbomosho!
Thank you. If you're in Ogbomosho I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Colorado Springs but we're thinking of you. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Isaac. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 4 people at work. Greetings from London!
