Get Kaylee back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Kaylee drives for a living in San Jose, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 8 weeks.
🇺🇸 United States1,548 views
I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 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 $1,300 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $590
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $260
• Towing and inspection: $150
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of San Jose.
Sending good thoughts, Kaylee. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.

Wishing you peace, Kaylee. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
