Saima's my school-run minibus is Saima's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $200.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 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 $200 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $135
• Labor charges: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Bakersfield.
Sending love. Small businesses are the heart of Mardan. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
best of luck. Small businesses are the heart of Mardan. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Praying for you, Saima. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Mardan!
