Get Silvia back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Without my pickup Silvia can't work; a $1,000 repair would put her back on the road.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States1,028 views
I make my living with my pickup. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 twelve 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 $1,000 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $540
• Labor charges: $165
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $65
Thank you so much.

Good luck. Small businesses are the heart of San Francisco. Hope you're open again soon.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Hang in there, Silvia. Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Fresno but we're thinking of you. Take care
Thinking of you and your family, Silvia. Hope you make a strong comeback.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Birmingham.
