Help Latha replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Without my delivery van Latha can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $200 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $60
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Latha. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
