Rodel needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Makati
Without my pickup Rodel can't work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $210
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of Makati. Hope you're open again soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Rooting for you, Rodel. This could happen to any of us.
you're not alone, Rodel. I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Thinking of you, Rodel. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Makati.
