Get Ikenna back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Ikenna's my delivery van is Ikenna's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $250.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $180
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $10
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
