Good news. Because of your gifts ($390 in total) I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 85% thanks to 38 of you. the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled. More news soon.

Sending love, Bo-ra. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Stay strong, Bo-ra. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bo-ra.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (three months) comes first ($1,200) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. God bless
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
