Harsh needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Toronto
Without my pickup Harsh can't work; a $1,700 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,050
• Labor charges: $370
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $60

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Harsh.
Radiator and cooling system replacement (parts) is $1,050 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Hamilton.
Rooting for you, Harsh. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Small businesses are the heart of Toronto. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Thinking of you and your family, Harsh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Fresno.
