Genesis needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Springfield
Without my pickup Genesis can't work; a $1,250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $1,250 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $600
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• Towing and inspection: $160
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Genesis
Small update. $133 so far, I made the first payment toward clutch assembly replacement.
Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
Quick update: $20 raised so far (2%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
