Help Araceli replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work

Without my tuk-tuk Araceli cannot work; a $1,300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 family of five. 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 $1,300 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $790 • Labor charges: $210 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $190 • Towing and inspection: $110 Thank you for reading my story. - Araceli
