I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $500 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $300
• Labor charges: $130
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
