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

Without my delivery van Rotimi can't work; a $210 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $210. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $210 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $120 • Labor charges: $35 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $50 • Towing and inspection: $5 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Rotimi

Updates from Rotimi

Good news. Because of your gifts ($28 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Rotimi
Update from Badagry: I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. We're at 37% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
