My ride-share car: Kaori's only way to earn a living

I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 4 children. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,200 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $620 • Labor charges: $230 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $190 • Towing and inspection: $160 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Kaori
