Help Silas replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Silas can't work; a $1,350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 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 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 $1,350 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $860
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $160
• Towing and inspection: $130
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Small businesses are the heart of Syracuse. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Lviv but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Silas. It takes guts to ask. Well done
