Help Njoroge replace the fuel pump and return to work
Njoroge's my food truck is Njoroge's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $150.

I make my living with my food truck. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 nine 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 $150 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $65
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $10
Thanks for reading all this.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. After 21 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Njoroge. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care.
Stay strong, Njoroge. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
Thanks for sharing this, Njoroge. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Rochester
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Kampala.
