I make my living with my taxi. 6 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
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): $120
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $50
I hope life is good to you.

Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
Sending good thoughts, Anand. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from São Paulo.
