Help Teresa replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Teresa's my delivery van is Teresa's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $2,000.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,000. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $2,000 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,450
• Labor charges: $195
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $125
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
