I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $400 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $125
• Labor charges: $120
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Ji-min
Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($70). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward labor charges.
Update from Seongnam: the plan for towing and inspection is now scheduled. We're at 25% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Update from Seongnam: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 25% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Ji-min?
Thank you. If you're in Seongnam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
