Clara needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in London

Without my pickup Clara can't work; a $1,650 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 nine 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,650 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,200 • Labor charges: $150 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $175 • Towing and inspection: $125 Thanks for being kind about this. - Clara
