Help Marwan replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work

Without my ride-share car Marwan can't work; a $2,100 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,100. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $2,100 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,300 • Labor charges: $390 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $260 • Towing and inspection: $150 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Cairo so I could bring a meal. Love from São Paulo.
