Help Christian replace the fuel pump and return to work
Without my delivery van Christian can't work; a $650 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $650 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $280
• Labor charges: $130
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• Towing and inspection: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless

So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Christian. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Keep going, Christian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Ahmedabad this morning. Love from Ahmedabad.
Sending love, Christian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Sending strength, Christian. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hang in there, Christian. Small businesses are the heart of Rome. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Rome.
Best of luck, Christian. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
