Get Theodore back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Theodore drives for a living in Leicester, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 nine 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 $450 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• Towing and inspection: $115
• Labor charges: $145
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong, Theodore. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 3 people at work.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Theodore?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about road tax and insurance renewal, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 14 people at work. Thinking of Leicester.
Hang in there, Theodore. Hope the shop reopens soon
Sending love, Theodore. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Sending strength, Theodore. This could happen to any of us.
