Help Paul replace the fuel pump and return to work

Without my school-run minibus Paul cannot work; a $1,050 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,050 goes: • Labor charges: $180 • Towing and inspection: $130 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $740 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Paul

    Hope it all works out, Paul. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update

      Hang in there, Paul. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Setagaya.

      • Francisco N. Vega

        Good luck. Small businesses are the heart of Berlin. Hope you're open again soon.

        • Joaquín M. García

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Moscow.

            Stay strong. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
