My pickup: Lestari's only way to earn a living
Lestari's my pickup is Lestari's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $250.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $10
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lestari
Sure. The biggest one is fuel pump replacement (parts), $165. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
Stay strong. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Hope it all works out, Lestari. Hope you get there. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Lestari. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Los Angeles.
