Help Federica replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Federica can't work; a $1,600 repair would put her back on the road.

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 $1,600. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,150
• Labor charges: $260
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $170
• Towing and inspection: $20
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Federica. Hope you get there. God bless.
praying for you. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
thanks for sharing this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Barcelona.
Sending good thoughts, Federica. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Scranton
