Get Inès back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Inès drives for a living in Marseille, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,050
• Labor charges: $290
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $165
• Towing and inspection: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Inès. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the shop reopens soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
