Help Elias replace the clutch assembly and return to work
Elias drives for a living in Derry, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 twelve 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 $1,050 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $500
• Labor charges: $220
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $195
• Towing and inspection: $135
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

what's already covered and what's the $1,050 for?
It's all in the list in the story. clutch assembly replacement (parts) is the big one at $500, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
rooting for you, Elias. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Hope the shop reopens soon. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Bowling Green.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Derry.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 22 people at work.
