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

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 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 $1,400 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $760
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $165
• Towing and inspection: $175
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

thinking of you, Josefa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

Stay strong, Josefa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
