Help Abdul replace the fuel pump and return to work
Without my school-run minibus Abdul can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $150 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Abdul
Sure. The biggest one is towing and inspection, $15. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Ubud.
