Help Mairead replace the clutch assembly and return to work

Mairead drives for a living in Cork, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,250 goes: • Towing and inspection: $85 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $290 • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $875 Glad we found this place. - Mairead

Updates from Mairead

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($529 in total) the plan for clutch assembly replacement is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!
