Help Swati replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Swati drives for a living in Pune, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $180
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $30
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Swati. Hope the shop reopens soon!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Dhaka.
Rooting for you, Swati. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Swati.
Radiator and cooling system replacement (parts) is $180 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
praying for you. Hope you make a strong comeback. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Wishing you the best, Swati. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Tokyo.
Praying for you, Swati. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Rooting for you, Swati. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Swati. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Take care, Swati. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
