Get Ghassan back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Ghassan's my taxi is Ghassan's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $1,050.
🇸🇦 Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia1,008 views
I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 ten 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 $1,050 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $670
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $130
• Towing and inspection: $135
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Keep going, Ghassan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Ekurhuleni but we're thinking of you. Take care
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 5 people at work.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Eastern Province. I'll ask around and let you know!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
rooting for you, Ghassan. Small businesses are the heart of Dammam. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from San Jose.
