Zoe's my taxi is Zoe's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $1,000.

I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 $1,000 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $490
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• Towing and inspection: $70
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending love, Zoe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Burnaby.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
hope it all works out, Zoe. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you peace, Zoe. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Love from Polokwane.
Wishing you the best, Zoe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending strength, Zoe. Hope you make a strong comeback.
