Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Durham.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about groceries and school meals, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Durham.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Cairo donated after I showed her your page
