I make my living with my pickup. 5 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $550 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $280
• Labor charges: $155
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $100
• Towing and inspection: $15
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

keep going, Alina. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
