Help Samantha replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Samantha's my ride-share car is Samantha's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $1,600.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,600 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $320
• Labor charges: $340
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $940
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
