Help Rubel replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Rubel drives for a living in Chattogram, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 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 ten 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 $150 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $75
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• Towing and inspection: $35
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Rubel
Update from Chattogram: the plan for labor charges is now scheduled. We're at 47% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

Hang in there, Rubel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 39 people at work. Love from Dayton
best of luck, Rubel. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Savannah
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Rubel. I hope things turn around soon
looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Chattogram.
