Help Angel replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Angel drives for a living in Coventry, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $580
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $50
With deep gratitude,
Angel

You're not alone, Angel. Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
