Help Craig replace the clutch assembly and return to work

Without my pickup Craig can't work; a $350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $350 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $220 • Labor charges: $60 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $60 • Towing and inspection: $10 With deep gratitude, Craig
