Phúc needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Thủ Đức
Without my pickup Phúc can't work; a $50 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $50. 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 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 $50 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Labor charges: $15
Every share and every dollar helps.

rooting for you, Phúc. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Pasig.
So sorry you're going through this, Phúc. Small businesses are the heart of Thủ Đức. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
