Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Quezon City.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Berk.
Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is $85 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
sending love, Berk. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up.
Hope things get better soon, Berk. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
How is Berk doing now?
Take care, Berk. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Sacramento.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Berk?
Sending love, Berk. Shared this with my family. God bless
