Tammy needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Fayetteville
Tammy's my school-run minibus is Tammy's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $1,200.
🇺🇸 Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States2,035 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 nine 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 $1,200 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $560
• Labor charges: $360
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Towing and inspection: $135
With deep gratitude,
Tammy
