My ride-share car: Deborah's only way to earn a living
Deborah's my ride-share car is Deborah's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $1,750.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. 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 ten 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 $1,750 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,300
• Towing and inspection: $90
• Labor charges: $360
Thanks for being kind about this.
