Brenda needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Dundee
Brenda drives for a living in Dundee, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 three 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 $1,550 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,150
• Labor charges: $100
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Brenda!
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Dublin.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Dundee. Hope you're open again soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Good luck, Brenda. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
