Help Kwadwo replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Kwadwo drives for a living in Tema, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 2 children. 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 $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $160
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $35
Thanks for reading all this.
