I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 six 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 $1,250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $690
• Labor charges: $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $175
• Towing and inspection: $115
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
