Help Santiago replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Santiago's my taxi is Santiago's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $350.
🇨🇴 Colombia906 views
I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 twelve 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 $350 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $260
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
