Obinna's my taxi is Obinna's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $100.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 family of five. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
