Laredo

I make my living with my delivery van. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $650 goes: • Labor charges: $210 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $250 • Towing and inspection: $190 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ruby

Updates from Ruby

Wanted to say thank you properly. 23% funded and I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
We're at 20% thanks to 5 of you. I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($98). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
