I make my living with my motorbike. 6 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $250 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $180
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• Towing and inspection: $20
With deep gratitude,
Parvin

Good news. Because of your gifts ($10 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Parvin

Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Lagos.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Sent it to 38 people at work. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Parvin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Dhaka.
hang in there, Parvin. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Bergamo but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Parvin!
It's all in the list in the story. fuel pump replacement (parts) is the big one at $180, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Good luck. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Keep going, Parvin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Peshawar.
