Sheila's my tuk-tuk is Sheila's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $300.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $220
Thanks for reading all this.
