Help Amaka replace the fuel pump and return to work
Amaka's my pickup is Amaka's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $50.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $50. 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 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 $50 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Labor charges: $10
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kaduna!
Thank you. If you're in Kaduna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Keep going, Amaka. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Good luck, Amaka. Hope the shop reopens soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless!
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Nnewi
Hope things get better soon, Amaka. Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Nottingham.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hope it all works out. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
