Thijs needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Eindhoven
Thijs drives for a living in Eindhoven, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 8 weeks.
Anywhere in the world1,245 views
I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,600 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $170
• Towing and inspection: $70
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,360
With deep gratitude,
Thijs

Good luck, Thijs. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Thijs?
Thank you. If you're in Eindhoven I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
thanks for sharing this, Thijs. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Hope it all works out. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Thijs
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Venice donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Thijs. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Thijs. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Kilkenny.
