Help Rotimi replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Rotimi drives for a living in Badagry, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 three 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 $150 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $75
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there, Rotimi. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Rotimi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Colombo.
