Sowmya needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Surat
Sowmya drives for a living in Surat, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 family of five. 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 $200 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $115
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $5
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
