I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 eleven 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 $1,700 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,050 • Towing and inspection: $170 • Labor charges: $480 With deep gratitude, Verónica
