Help Swetha replace the fuel pump and return to work
Without my school-run minibus Swetha can't work; a $110 repair would put her 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 $110. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $110 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $70
• Labor charges: $5
With deep gratitude,
Swetha

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Swetha.
Road tax and insurance renewal is $35 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Hang in there, Swetha. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Polokwane.
hope things get better soon. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!

Keep going, Swetha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.
