Help Paula replace the fuel pump and return to work
Paula drives for a living in Bogotá, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 6 weeks.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia777 views
I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $250 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $160
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
