I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $300 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $165 • Labor charges: $30 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $55 • Towing and inspection: $50 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • This could happen to any of us. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Belém.

    • praying for you, Linh. Shared it with a few friends

      • Wishing you peace. Small businesses are the heart of Cầu Giấy. Hope you're open again soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
