Get Ebru back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Ebru drives for a living in Çankaya, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $450 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $330
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• Towing and inspection: $50
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Ebru
Quick update: $145 raised so far (32%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Çankaya: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Çankaya
Thank you. If you're in Çankaya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Dublin donated after I showed her your page. Love from Dublin
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Yonkers.
