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

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 nine 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 $450 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Labor charges: $60
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $375
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
