René needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Toronto

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $600 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $420 • Labor charges: $120 • Towing and inspection: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - René

    keep going. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Warsaw but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Warsaw.

    • Hang in there, René. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.

      • Rooting for you, René. Looking forward to the next update.
