32% there. I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($359 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Lahore.
good luck, Leah. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Take care, Leah. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Sending love, Leah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Mumbai
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength, Leah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up.
