Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Istanbul
how is İsmail doing now?
Wishing you peace, İsmail. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Eugene
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for İsmail
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. winter clothing and school supplies comes first ($185) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Praying for you, İsmail. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Asaba but we're thinking of you. God bless.
