Help John replace the fuel pump and return to work
John's my tuk-tuk is John's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $1,600.
Anywhere in the worldPosted Aug 6, 2026987 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $960
• Labor charges: $175
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $300
• Towing and inspection: $165
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Kelowna
Thinking of you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Kelowna.
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Small businesses are the heart of Kelowna. Hope you're open again soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Ikeja.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together
Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Asaba
