My pickup: Leonardo's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Leonardo can't work; a $1,450 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 $1,450. 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,450 goes:
• Labor charges: $320
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $280
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $850
Thank you for reading my story.
