Help Maryam replace the fuel pump and return to work
Maryam drives for a living in Gujranwala, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Labor charges: $50
• Towing and inspection: $10
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
