Get Min-ji back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Min-ji drives for a living in Fresno, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. 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 4 children. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,150
• Labor charges: $310
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $340
• Towing and inspection: $150
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best. Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Saint Petersburg.
Thinking of you and your family, Min-ji. Hope this works out for you
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Newcastle upon Tyne so I could bring a meal. Love from Liverpool.
Sending love, Min-ji. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Miami
shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Tel Aviv.
