Help Maurício replace the fuel pump and return to work
Without my food truck Maurício can't work; a $500 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $500 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $300
• Labor charges: $75
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $90
• Towing and inspection: $35

is fuel pump replacement (parts) the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Fuel pump replacement (parts) is $300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
small businesses are the heart of Guarulhos. Hope you're open again soon. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Narayanganj.
praying for you, Maurício. Hope the shop reopens soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Gondar.
Praying for you, Maurício. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Da Nang donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Da Nang.
