Ricardo needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Ciudad de México
Ricardo drives for a living in Ciudad de México, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

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 $700. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $700 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $490
• Labor charges: $110
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
• Towing and inspection: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Fortaleza.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
