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

Without my taxi Hui cannot work; a $2,100 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,100. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $2,100 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,600 • Labor charges: $190 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $170 • Towing and inspection: $140 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Hui

        Hang in there, Hui. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!

          I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
