I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $150
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck, Julián. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from London.
Thinking of you, Julián. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 10 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
keep going. Hope you make a strong comeback. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
