My pickup: Moin's only way to earn a living
Moin drives for a living in Karachi, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $200 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $10
Thank you for reading my story.

Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Lalitpur.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Pietermaritzburg.
