Support Needed for Urgent Car Repairs
Donation protected
Last Friday, March 28th while driving, my car overheated. I was able to get it home and have a friend mechanic take a look at it and he was positive that it was the water pump but, because it was a large job he wasn't able to help on this, so I towed it to my mechanic the next day.
Upon further inspection it turns out that it is the head gasket and I will need an entire new engine. I am in shock. In normal circumstances I would sell and try to get what I can for the vehicle but after paying for over 2 years I still owe quite a bit on the car so that's just not an option. I use this vehicle almost exclusively for work, not to get to and from work but to transport my entire business in it and without it, things will spiral quickly.
The estimate for a new engine is around $10,000 maybe more.
While I realize that, short of a miracle, it will be very very difficult to raise that amount, I am asking with the utmost humility and gratitude for any help that might get me as close as possible to that amount.
I know things aren't easy for so many of us but if there is any possible way to help please do.
It is extremely humbling to have to ask for this and frankly, embarrassing but I have no choice.
I can offer work or anything that may help you in return.
Thank you for reading and considering.
