Help Martina replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Martina drives for a living in Turin, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $630
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $150
• Towing and inspection: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Martina. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
