Help Oskar replace the fuel pump and return to work
Oskar's my taxi is Oskar's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $550.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 $550 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $420
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
• Towing and inspection: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Quick update: $29 raised so far (5%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 3% now ($19). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection.
