James drives for a living in Toledo, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

Toledo
I make my living with my delivery van. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,350 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $710 • Labor charges: $360 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $175 • Towing and inspection: $105 Thanks for being kind about this. - James

      Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Toledo.
