I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 four 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 $250 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $150
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $40
Thanks for reading all this.

53% there. the plan for labor charges is now scheduled. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($108 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $100 so far, I made the first payment toward labor charges. - Yasir

Good luck. Shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Mecca.
