María's my pickup is María's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $600.
Anywhere in the world910 views
I make my living with my pickup. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $600 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $390
• Labor charges: $120
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Hope you get there. My neighbor in Savannah donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Rooting for you, María. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Angeles
