Rohit needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Mangaluru
Rohit drives for a living in Mangaluru, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 4 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 ten 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 $300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $180
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $25
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck, Rohit. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
