Get Eleanor back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Eleanor drives for a living in Birmingham, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $690
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $125
If you're reading this, thank you.

how is Eleanor doing now?
Keep going, Eleanor. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 17 people at work.
Best of luck, Eleanor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
