Help Véronique replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work

Véronique drives for a living in Paris, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 $1,200 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $710 • Labor charges: $260 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $155 • Towing and inspection: $75 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Véronique

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($214 in total) I made the first payment toward labor charges. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $122 so far, I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Update from Paris: we've started the first stage. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Véronique
