Rocío needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Coyoacán
Without my pickup Rocío can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $350 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Labor charges: $50
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $245
Thank you so much.
Updates from Rocío
Quick update: $109 raised so far (31%). I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Hope things get better soon, Rocío. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
