Get Esperanza back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Without my delivery van Esperanza can't work; a $400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 three 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 $400 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $170
• Labor charges: $100
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $130
Thanks for reading all this.

Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Dasmariñas.
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Sending strength, Esperanza. Shared this with my family. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Istanbul but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
