I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $400 goes:
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $295
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Eduardo. Hope you get there
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care!
Hang in there. Hope you make a strong comeback. My neighbor in Dar es Salaam donated after I showed her your page.
