My pickup: Paulo's only way to earn a living
Paulo's my pickup is Paulo's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $250.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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: $85
• Towing and inspection: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $120
Thank you so much.

Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
