Help Ayşe replace the fuel pump and return to work
Ayşe drives for a living in Üsküdar, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $450 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $260
• Labor charges: $100
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Your post was clear and honest. Love from Saint Petersburg!
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 40 people at work. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Ayşe. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
