Help Mattia replace the fuel pump and return to work
Without my pickup Mattia can't work; a $750 repair would put him back on the road.
🇮🇹 Italy1,716 views
I make my living with my pickup. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $750. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $750 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $460
• Towing and inspection: $75
• Labor charges: $215
Glad we found this place.

how is Mattia doing now?
Thinking of you, Mattia. Shared this with my family. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from San Diego
Take care, Mattia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Shared this with my family. Greetings from Montego Bay.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Messina
Thank you. If you're in Messina I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
You're not alone, Mattia. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Sicily. I'll ask around and let you know
Hope things get better soon, Mattia. Hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Kisumu but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Sending love, Mattia. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Seoul.
Stay strong, Mattia. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't give up. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Mattia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. All the best.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out!
