Help Omar replace the fuel pump and return to work
Omar drives for a living in Sylhet, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $200 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $145
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $5
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Omar
Good news. Because of your gifts ($96 in total) the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Omar
Update from Sylhet: I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. We're at 36% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $51 raised so far (26%). I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

- Ruth Melaku 🇪🇹 · $25
- Aditi J. Jat 🇮🇳 · $20
