Jiro needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Fukuoka
Jiro drives for a living in Fukuoka, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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 3 children. 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 $700 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $360
• Labor charges: $130
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $95
• Towing and inspection: $115
With deep gratitude,
Jiro

How is Jiro doing now?
wishing you the best. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
