Matthew's my delivery van is Matthew's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $500.
Anywhere in the world2,121 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $500 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $140
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $125
• Labor charges: $235
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon, Matthew. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Small businesses are the heart of Manchester. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Johannesburg.
So sorry you're going through this, Matthew. Hope you get there.
