so sorry you're going through this, Zoe. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
rooting for you, Zoe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zoe
Sure. The biggest one is language classes and bus passes, $320. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
