Yoko's my pickup is Yoko's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $1,500.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 eleven 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 $1,500 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $930
• Labor charges: $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $180
• Towing and inspection: $120
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Yoko
Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($342). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($246 in total) the plan for clutch assembly replacement is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Shinjuku
Wishing you peace, Yoko. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 35 people at work.
Sending love, Yoko. Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Addis Ababa but we're thinking of you
Sending good thoughts, Yoko. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
