Tomoya needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Shinjuku
Tomoya drives for a living in Shinjuku, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 2 children. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $740
• Labor charges: $260
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $120

Thinking of you and your family, Tomoya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Bang Khen.
Wishing you peace. Small businesses are the heart of Shinjuku. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Pune.
how is Tomoya doing now?
This could happen to any of us. After 21 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Shinjuku!
Stay strong, Tomoya. Small businesses are the heart of Shinjuku. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings
Keep going, Tomoya. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Siliguri so I could bring a meal.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tomoya
Radiator and cooling system replacement (parts) is $740 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Stay strong, Tomoya. Hope you get there. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Praying for you, Tomoya. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Tomoya. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thinking of you, Tomoya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope it all works out, Tomoya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Shinjuku.
Thinking of you, Tomoya. This could happen to any of us.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Coyoacán so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Shinjuku!
