Get Shu back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Without my ride-share car Shu can't work; a $2,200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,200. 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 2 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 $2,200 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,500
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $330
• Towing and inspection: $130
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Shu?
Thank you. If you're in Lethbridge I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Keep going, Shu. This could happen to any of us.
How is Shu doing now?
