Help Gabriella replace the clutch assembly and return to work
Without my delivery van Gabriella can't work; a $1,350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 nine 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 $1,350 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,000
• Towing and inspection: $160
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Wishing you the best, Gabriella. Small businesses are the heart of London. Hope you're open again soon. Sent it to 20 people at work.
Hope it all works out, Gabriella. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Marseille.
Best of luck, Gabriella. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Coyoacán.
