San Jose

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. 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 eleven 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,950 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,150 • Labor charges: $340 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $350 • Towing and inspection: $110 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Zoe
