Help Adam replace the fuel pump and return to work
Adam drives for a living in Boulogne-Billancourt, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $800. 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $800 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $150
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $585
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Adam
Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($18). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward fuel pump replacement.

Good luck. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Grand Rapids.
Rooting for you, Adam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Kingston

Thanks for sharing this, Adam. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.

Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Hyderabad

Hope things get better soon, Adam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
