Waylon needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in San Diego

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 $1,850 goes: • Labor charges: $420 • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,300 • Towing and inspection: $130 Thanks for reading all this.

    Sending good thoughts, Waylon. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Iași donated after I showed her your page. Love from Iași.

      best of luck, Waylon. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning. God bless.

        Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

          Wishing you the best, Waylon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

          • Hendra Wawan Wibowo

            stay strong, Waylon. Hope you make a strong comeback. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best
