My delivery van: Auma's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van Auma can't work; a $100 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 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 3 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $100 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $75
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $5
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
