My pickup: Rashid's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Rashid cannot work; a $400 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $400 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Södertälje but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Durban
Best of luck, Rashid. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Stay strong. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't give up. Blessings
