Yodit needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Addis Ababa
Yodit drives for a living in Addis Ababa, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $150 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $115
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you the best, Yodit. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
You're not alone, Yodit. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Pune.
