Help Landon replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Landon drives for a living in Toronto, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada2,322 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $175
• Labor charges: $120
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,405
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Landon
It's all in the list in the story. road tax and insurance renewal is the big one at $175, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Casablanca but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Toronto!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about road tax and insurance renewal, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
hope you get there. Please keep us posted. God bless.
How is Landon doing now?
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Madurai!
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Saint-Étienne.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Córdoba.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Keep going, Landon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
good luck, Landon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Toronto.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Toronto

Hope things get better soon, Landon. Hope you make a strong comeback. Blessings.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Abuja.
Hope this works out for you. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
