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.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Mairead?
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!
Hope it all works out, Mairead. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
