Help Guadalupe replace the fuel pump and return to work
Without my motorbike Guadalupe can't work; a $1,250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,250 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $670
• Labor charges: $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $125
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength, Guadalupe. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Udaipur.
Sending good thoughts, Guadalupe. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
keep going. Small businesses are the heart of Toledo. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings
