Get Funmilayo back on the road: my pickup repair fund

Without my pickup Funmilayo can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $250 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $185 • Labor charges: $25 Thank you so much.

Updates from Funmilayo

  1. Small update. $29 so far, the plan for fuel pump replacement is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Lagos: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

        Hope things get better soon, Funmilayo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Magelang donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Lagos.
