Get Carlo back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Carlo drives for a living in Mississauga, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 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 $650 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• Towing and inspection: $185
• Labor charges: $275
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Carlo
Good news. Because of your gifts ($195 in total) I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
