Get Rakib back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Rakib drives for a living in Dhaka, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 6 weeks.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh711 views
I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 nine 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 $150 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $75
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• Towing and inspection: $15
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Narayanganj but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Rakib. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Tiruchirappalli but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Surabaya.
hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Hialeah
