Osama needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Zagazig
Without my pickup Osama can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.
🇪🇬 Zagazig, Sharqia, Egypt155 views
I make my living with my pickup. 5 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $95
Glad we found this place.

Small businesses are the heart of Zagazig. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Stay strong, Osama. Small businesses are the heart of Zagazig. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Love from Rajkot!
