I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 six 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 $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

We're at 71% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Leo
Wanted to say thank you properly. 45% funded and I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal.

Sending love, Leo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
