I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,800. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,800 goes: โ€ข radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,200 โ€ข Labor charges: $180 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $240 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $180 Thank you so much. - Sophia

          Rooting for you, Sophia. Hope the shop reopens soon.

          • Madelyn Peters

            wishing you peace. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
