My pickup: Rattana's only way to earn a living
Rattana's my pickup is Rattana's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $450.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $450 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $390
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Labor charges: $50
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you, Rattana. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Hang in there, Rattana. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
