Help Mónica replace the clutch assembly and return to work
Without my pickup Mónica can't work; a $500 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $500 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $340
• Labor charges: $70
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
• Towing and inspection: $10
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Cartagena.
Hope it all works out, Mónica. Small businesses are the heart of Bucaramanga. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mónica.
Sure. The biggest one is clutch assembly replacement (parts), $340. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
Stay strong, Mónica. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page!
so sorry you're going through this, Mónica. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Orlando.
Hope it all works out, Mónica. Small businesses are the heart of Bucaramanga. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Sukkur
