I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $195
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Sending strength, Hasini. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
