Xin's my pickup is Xin's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $1,750.

I make my living with my pickup. 4 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,150
• Labor charges: $290
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
• Towing and inspection: $100
Thanks for reading all this.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 23 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of San Jose.
how is Xin doing now?
Good luck, Xin. Small businesses are the heart of San Jose. Hope you're open again soon. After 11 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Xin. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Kathmandu.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of San Jose.
So sorry you're going through this, Xin. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Hope it all works out, Xin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Rome!
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from Celaya.
