My delivery van: Adewale's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van Adewale can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 ten 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 $200 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $115
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $20
I hope life is good to you.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adewale.
Sure. The biggest one is clutch assembly replacement (parts), $115. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
