My pickup: Heru's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Heru can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $200 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $110
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $10
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Heru. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Heru. I hope things turn around soon.
