Help Fernando replace the fuel pump and return to work

Fernando drives for a living in Mar del Plata, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

Mar del Plata
I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 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 $450 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $220 • Labor charges: $95 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $70 • Towing and inspection: $65 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
