Get Daniel back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Daniel drives for a living in Bucaramanga, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $210
• Towing and inspection: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
