My pickup: Joyce's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Joyce can't work; a $1,250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 three 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 $1,250 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $770
• Towing and inspection: $70
• Labor charges: $410
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Joyce?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about fuel pump replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Thanks for sharing this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Hang in there, Joyce. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Charlotte.
Hope it all works out, Joyce. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Awka but we're thinking of you
Praying for you, Joyce. Shared this with my family. God bless
