My pickup: Kalpana's only way to earn a living

Kalpana drives for a living in Kathmandu, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 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 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 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 $200 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $160 • Labor charges: $35 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $5 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Kalpana
