Any update on how things are going in Duisburg?
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Is tools and protective gear the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. tools and protective gear is the big one at $470, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
is it paid to the nursery directly?
Best of luck, Andreas. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Corpus Christi!
when's the deadline? Is May firm?
Still May. I'll post here if that changes. Good question.
Keep going, Andreas. Hope this works out for you.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Andreas?
Thank you. If you're in Duisburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
