My pickup: Kunle's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Kunle can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $250 goes:
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $205
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
