Help Charles replace the fuel pump and return to work

Without my delivery van Charles can't work; a $1,650 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,650 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,150 • Labor charges: $175 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $240 • Towing and inspection: $85 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Charles

Updates from Charles

Quick update: $144 raised so far (9%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($109 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $70 so far, I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
