I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $205. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $205 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $140 • Labor charges: $20 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 • Towing and inspection: $5 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Bikash

Updates from Bikash

  1. Small update. $50 so far, I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Kathmandu: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 47% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
