Help Weston replace the fuel pump and return to work
Weston drives for a living in London, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 8 weeks.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,616 views
I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $650
• Labor charges: $160
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
Thank you so much.

hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Chattanooga.
Keep going, Weston. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Weston. This could happen to any of us.
Hang in there, Weston. Small businesses are the heart of London. Hope you're open again soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of London
Sending strength, Weston. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Salvador.
Hope it all works out, Weston. This could happen to any of us!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Weston!
Sure. The biggest one is fuel pump replacement (parts), $650. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
good luck, Weston. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Sending love, Weston. Your post was clear and honest.
Good luck, Weston. Your post was clear and honest. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
You're not alone, Weston. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending good thoughts, Weston. Small businesses are the heart of London. Hope you're open again soon. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
rooting for you, Weston. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Stay strong, Weston. Looking forward to the next update.
