Fernando needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Manila
Fernando drives for a living in Manila, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $350 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $260
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $10
I hope life is good to you.
