Get Paloma back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 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 $550 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $370 • Labor charges: $45 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $100 • Towing and inspection: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Paloma
