Piumi needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Dehiwala
Piumi drives for a living in Dehiwala, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $300 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $35
Thanks for being kind about this.

how is Piumi doing now?
Keep going, Piumi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Love from Iztapalapa.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Piumi.
It's all in the list in the story. fuel pump replacement (parts) is the big one at $185, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Dehiwala.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
