Help Chioma replace the fuel pump and return to work
Chioma drives for a living in Kano, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 8 weeks.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,103 views
I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $155. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $155 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $105
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
