I make my living with my delivery van. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 nine 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $400 goes: • Labor charges: $75 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $270 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $55 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Keep going. Small businesses are the heart of Mthatha. Hope you're open again soon. Wish I lived closer to Gdańsk so I could bring a meal
