Help Terry replace the clutch assembly and return to work
Terry drives for a living in New Orleans, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 4 weeks.
🇺🇸 New Orleans, Louisiana, United States1,377 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $490
• Labor charges: $310
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
• Towing and inspection: $145
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

any update on how things are going in New Orleans?
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Terry
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Stay strong, Terry. Small businesses are the heart of New Orleans. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Laredo.
Sending good thoughts, Terry. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of New Orleans
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of New Orleans.
Take care, Terry. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
