Help Akello replace the clutch assembly and return to work

Without my delivery van Akello can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 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 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 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 $300 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $200 • Labor charges: $70 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $25 • Towing and inspection: $5 Thanks for being kind about this.

      Thinking of you, Akello. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 7 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Nashik
