My pickup: Misaki's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Misaki can't work; a $1,250 repair would put her back on the road.
🇯🇵 Osaka, Japan909 views
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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $1,250 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $140
• Towing and inspection: $55
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,055
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending love, Misaki. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hope it all works out, Misaki. Hope you make a strong comeback. Wish I lived closer to Warangal so I could bring a meal
looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 11 people at work. Love from Toronto!
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Sakai
Good luck, Misaki. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Good luck, Misaki. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
