Get Mutua back on the road: my delivery van repair fund

Mutua drives for a living in Kakamega, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 wife and our newborn. 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $300 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $170 • Labor charges: $70 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $50 • Towing and inspection: $10 I hope life is good to you. - Mutua
