Help Umesh replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Umesh drives for a living in Pune, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 $200 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Labor charges: $50
I hope life is good to you.

Good luck, Umesh. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Kharkiv so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care!
