My delivery van: Georgia's only way to earn a living
Georgia drives for a living in Piraeus, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 10 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 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 three 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 $1,000 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $690
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• Towing and inspection: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 22 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Piraeus.
You're not alone, Georgia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Piraeus.
Hang in there, Georgia. Small businesses are the heart of Piraeus. Hope you're open again soon.
hope the shop reopens soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Good luck, Georgia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Jakarta Barat.
