Help Bennett replace the clutch assembly and return to work
Bennett drives for a living in New York, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 eleven 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 $1,600 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $880
• Labor charges: $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $320
• Towing and inspection: $130
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Bennett. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Jaipur!
Wishing you peace, Bennett. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Praying for you, Bennett. Hope you make a strong comeback. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Bennett. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
