Conor needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Dublin
Without my pickup Conor can't work; a $1,950 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. 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 four 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 $1,950 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,100
• Labor charges: $370
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $330
• Towing and inspection: $150
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Conor.
Radiator and cooling system replacement (parts) is $1,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
wishing you peace, Conor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Stay strong, Conor. Hope the shop reopens soon. Love from Akron.
