I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. 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 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 $1,750 goes: โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $155 โ€ข clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,500 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $95 Thanks for reading all this. - Nora

      Thinking of you and your family, Nora. This could happen to any of us. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless

      • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Makati this morning.

        • Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 19 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Padua.
