Get Ezra back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Ezra drives for a living in Dayton, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,050 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $550
• Labor charges: $110
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $360
• Towing and inspection: $30
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this, Ezra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
you're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Praying for you, Ezra. Hope this works out for you. All the best!
