My pickup: Donal's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Donal can't work; a $1,200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,200 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $630
• Labor charges: $310
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
• Towing and inspection: $105
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Donal. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Donal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
thanks for sharing this, Donal. Hope this works out for you.
how is Donal doing now?
Small businesses are the heart of Dublin. Hope you're open again soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Wishing you peace, Donal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Dublin.
