how is Lata doing now?
Slowly but in the right direction, thanks for asking. I'll put up a proper update with receipts soon. Appreciate you taking the time.
so sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
what's already covered and what's the $3,400 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. materials is the biggest at $2,150. Fair thing to want to know.
Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Tampa
How long do you have before September?
It's firm, September. After that things get a lot harder, so anything before then helps most. Good question.
Keep going. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer
Has the permit been checked by the HelpBLESS team?
I sent the permit in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Good question.
Praying for you. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Saint-Étienne.
does the money go straight to the suppliers or to you?
More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to San Francisco so I could bring a meal
Rooting for you, Lata. Hope you get there. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Los Angeles.
You're not alone, Lata. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
