Help Clémence replace the fuel pump and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Clémence can't work; a $1,400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,400 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $900
• Labor charges: $220
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $200
• Towing and inspection: $80

You're not alone. Small businesses are the heart of Lille. Hope you're open again soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
