Emilia needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Stockholm

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,200 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $610 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $270 • Labor charges: $320 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Emilia

  • So sorry you're going through this, Emilia. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Hope things get better soon, Emilia. Shared this with my family
