Iván's my delivery van is Iván's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $2,150.

I make my living with my delivery van. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,150. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,500
• Labor charges: $380
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $200
• Towing and inspection: $70
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Seattle
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about fuel pump replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Good question.
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Seattle
hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
You're not alone, Iván. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Sending strength, Iván. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings!
Hope you make a strong comeback. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
