I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $1,000 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $210 • Towing and inspection: $105 • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $685 Thank you so much.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 44% now ($441). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward engine head gasket replacement.

  • Paul VogelQuestion

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jahid

    • Jahid Sumon ParvezOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. road tax and insurance renewal comes first ($210) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

    Rooting for you, Jahid. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 18 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Gwagwalada

    • Corazon E. Quizon

      Wishing you peace. Hope you make a strong comeback. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless

      • Garima G. Arora

        Sending love, Jahid. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless

        • Amol W. Kale

          Good luck, Jahid. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

          • Thiago Raimundo Miranda

            praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Łódź

            • Vanessa A. Pascual

              Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Knoxville.
