Help Willem replace the clutch assembly and return to work

Willem's my food truck is Willem's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $1,500.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,500 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,100 • Labor charges: $145 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $115 • Towing and inspection: $140 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Willem

Updates from Willem

  1. Quick update: $341 raised so far (23%). the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($266 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($61). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal.
