Roberto needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Veracruz
Roberto drives for a living in Veracruz, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $550 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $95
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $360
• Labor charges: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.

Stay strong, Roberto. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care!
Praying for you, Roberto. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
