I make my living with my pickup. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $210. 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 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 $210 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $90
• Labor charges: $70
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $5
Thank you for reading my story.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mumbai.
Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Rochester.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
