Emma needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Freiburg
Emma drives for a living in Freiburg, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 twelve 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 $900 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $420
• Labor charges: $135
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $320
• Towing and inspection: $25
With deep gratitude,
Emma

Hope things get better soon, Emma. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Bhopal.
