Help Garima replace the fuel pump and return to work
Garima drives for a living in Nagpur, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $310. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $310 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $220
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $5
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace, Garima. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Bogotá.
