Help Michele replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Michele drives for a living in Messina, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $800. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $800 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $440
• Labor charges: $170
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $170
• Towing and inspection: $20
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Bang Khen
You're not alone, Michele. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!
