rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
you're not alone. Hope you get there. Take care.
You're not alone, Winnie. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Toulon this morning. Greetings from Toulon!
Wishing you the best, Winnie. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. God bless
Take care, Winnie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Wishing Winnie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
