Help Valentina replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Valentina drives for a living in Sacramento, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $460
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $200
• Towing and inspection: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.
