I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 family of five. 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 $1,500 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $870 • Labor charges: $250 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $230 • Towing and inspection: $150 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Caroline

Updates from Caroline

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,075 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 25% funded and I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. - Caroline
