Help Ruth replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Without my motorbike Ruth can't work; a $950 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $950. 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 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 $950 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $660
• Labor charges: $140
• Towing and inspection: $150
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace, Ruth. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
