Good luck, Naoko. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Naoko.
Sure. The biggest one is childcare and after-school care, $480. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Cầu Giấy
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Shinjuku.
Thinking of you, Naoko. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Campinas
Keep going, Naoko. Hope you get there. Love from Tel Aviv!
wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. God bless
