Get Hong back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Hong drives for a living in Oakland, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,000. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,450
• Labor charges: $230
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
• Towing and inspection: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.
