Help Rafiq replace the fuel pump and return to work
Rafiq drives for a living in Pune, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Labor charges: $55
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong, Rafiq. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Pune
hang in there, Rafiq. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Konya!
Wishing you peace. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Nashik.
