My ride-share car: Bithi's only way to earn a living
Bithi drives for a living in Dhaka, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $150 goes:
• Labor charges: $50
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $95
• Towing and inspection: $5
With deep gratitude,
Bithi

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bithi!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. labor charges comes first ($50) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
You're not alone, Bithi. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Fayetteville
