Get Ramesh back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Ramesh's my pickup is Ramesh's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $1,450.
🇺🇸 Vancouver, Washington, United States2,756 views
I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,450. 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,450 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $930
• Labor charges: $220
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
• Towing and inspection: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
Rooting for you, Ramesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Ramesh. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Ramesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Milan
Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Vancouver. Hope you're open again soon. Take care.
You're not alone, Ramesh. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Abuja so I could bring a meal.
