I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $200 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $115 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $50 • Towing and inspection: $35 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Barasa

Thank you all. We're at 70% now ($140). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
