Keep going, Tess. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
Rooting for you, Tess. Looking forward to the next update.
Keep going, Tess. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Haarlem.
wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
You're not alone, Tess. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Tess. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Cambridge so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you and your family, Tess. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Coventry.
