A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Jodhpur but we're thinking of you. Love from Jodhpur.
Hope things get better soon, Genesis. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Belfast but we're thinking of you.
Take care, Genesis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Reading!
Thank you. If you're in Reading I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Thanks for sharing this, Genesis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
