Help Ankit replace the fuel pump and return to work
Without my taxi Ankit can't work; a $1,900 repair would put him back on the road.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States2,533 views
I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,900 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $280
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Ankit. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Sending strength, Ankit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you peace, Ankit. Looking forward to the next update. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Greetings from São Paulo
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
Sending love. Hope you make a strong comeback. God bless.
Keep going, Ankit. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Los Angeles
Wishing you peace, Ankit. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Best of luck, Ankit. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal.
Keep going, Ankit. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Los Angeles
