Precious needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Soweto
Precious drives for a living in Soweto, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 three 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 $250 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $105
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.
