Help Lovisa replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Without my school-run minibus Lovisa can't work; a $1,100 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $165
• Labor charges: $220
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $715
I hope life is good to you.

9% there. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Small update. $20 so far, I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal.
Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($10). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lovisa.
Road tax and insurance renewal is $165 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope things get better soon, Lovisa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Keep going, Lovisa. Shared it with a few friends
Thinking of you and your family, Lovisa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Stockholm
You're not alone, Lovisa. Hope this works out for you.
so sorry you're going through this, Lovisa. Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Bacoor but we're thinking of you. Love from Bacoor.
