My delivery van: Dipesh's only way to earn a living
Dipesh drives for a living in Bhaktapur, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 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 $150 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $60
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $15
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

good luck, Dipesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 5 people at work. Greetings from Lafayette.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Dipesh?
Thank you. If you're in Bhaktapur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there, Dipesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Bhaktapur.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dipesh.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Dehiwala.
How is Dipesh doing now?
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Small businesses are the heart of Bhaktapur. Hope you're open again soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Rome.
So sorry you're going through this, Dipesh. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Aurora but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you the best, Dipesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
so sorry you're going through this, Dipesh. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Thinking of you, Dipesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from São Paulo
