My delivery van: Andriy's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van Andriy can't work; a $350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $350 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $155
• Labor charges: $125
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $35
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon, Andriy. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 31 people at work. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Andriy.
It's all in the list in the story. radiator and cooling system replacement (parts) is the big one at $155, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Yekaterinburg!
