Can you help us get Christine back on the road?
Nationwide
As the title & picture suggest our trusty wagon Christine (Yes, we named her after the movie) has had a tantrum and thrown a can of tomatoes or possibly chickpeas, into the motor. Unlike the car in the movie, she cannot repair herself and sadly we need an engine replacement.
The good folk at Orewa Car Services can get us back on the road picking up & delivering food parcels to families in need with a fully reconditioned engine. They have estimated the cost to be about $4000 fitted with warranty. Whilst we could just buy another vehicle for the same amount Christine is otherwise in very good condition and it would be a shame (and possibly dangerous) for us to send her to the wreckers.
We are reaching out to the Givealittle community with this fundraiser to have the repairs completed so we can continue with our service. If you can contribute any amount great or small it would be greatly appreciated.
