Paul needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Dar es Salaam
Paul drives for a living in Dar es Salaam, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $130
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Hope it all works out, Paul. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Lahore.
Sending love, Paul. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
