Cora needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Glasgow
Without my pickup Cora can't work; a $1,600 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,100
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

thanks for sharing this, Cora. Hope the shop reopens soon. God bless
Sending strength, Cora. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Bologna.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
sending strength, Cora. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Quetta!
Hope things get better soon, Cora. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Glasgow.
