I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 four 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 $1,600 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,200 • Labor charges: $140 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $155 • Towing and inspection: $105 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Chloé

  • Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Sacramento donated after I showed her your page

    • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chloé.

      • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. fuel pump replacement (parts) comes first ($1,200) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

      hope it all works out, Chloé. Small businesses are the heart of Saint-Étienne. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.

      • Wishing you the best, Chloé. Hope you make a strong comeback. My husband and I read this together. God bless.

          Thanks for sharing this, Chloé. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • Hope things get better soon, Chloé. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Asaba this morning
