I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 wife and our newborn. 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 $300 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $130
• Labor charges: $85
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $45
With deep gratitude,
Gonzalo

Best of luck, Gonzalo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Bergamo.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Medellín
You're not alone, Gonzalo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Hope this works out for you. Love from Messina.
