My pickup: Daniela's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Daniela can't work; a $700 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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 4 children. 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 $700 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Labor charges: $220
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $295
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you, Daniela. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Small businesses are the heart of Latina. Hope you're open again soon!
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Alcalá de Henares.
praying for you, Daniela. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Latina.
