My delivery van: Zola's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van Zola can't work; a $400 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 4 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 eleven 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:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $310
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $40
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Zola. Looking forward to the next update
Thinking of you, Zola. Small businesses are the heart of Pretoria. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Kano.
Shared it with a few friends. After 30 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
