Help Fatima replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Fatima drives for a living in Ikeja, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $200 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $105
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

so sorry you're going through this, Fatima. Hope you make a strong comeback. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Take care, Fatima. 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
Keep going, Fatima. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
