My delivery van: Herman's only way to earn a living
Herman drives for a living in Mississauga, 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 $1,600. 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 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 $1,600 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $95
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,350
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
