My delivery van: Simone's only way to earn a living
Simone drives for a living in Ribeirão Preto, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 4 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $550 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $370
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.

Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
