Help Atim replace the fuel pump and return to work
Atim drives for a living in Nairobi, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $200 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $170
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Labor charges: $10
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope it all works out, Atim. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Sending love, Atim. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Veracruz donated after I showed her your page
Shared this with my family. Greetings from Zapopan.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Saket.
