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

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 $1,150. 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 twelve 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 $1,150 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $710 • Labor charges: $170 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $140 • Towing and inspection: $130 Thanks for being kind about this. - Noah
