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

I make my living with my delivery van. 4 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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:
• Labor charges: $70
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $260
• Towing and inspection: $20

Best of luck, Ekkachai. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hang in there, Ekkachai. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Ekkachai. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Syracuse this morning. Blessings.
Sending strength, Ekkachai. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Small businesses are the heart of Pattaya. Hope you're open again soon.
