Help Chidi replace the fuel pump and return to work
Chidi drives for a living in Epe, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $250 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $130
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $40
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family, Chidi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Epe
