Get Imran back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Imran drives for a living in Stellenbosch, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 wife and our newborn. 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 $350 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $260
• Labor charges: $35
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Imran
Good news. Because of your gifts ($114 in total) I made the first payment toward clutch assembly replacement. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $30 so far, I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. - Imran
Wanted to say thank you properly. 57% funded and the plan for labor charges is now scheduled.
