is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jacques.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (six months) comes first ($2,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
best of luck, Stéphane. Get well soon. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Stéphane. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Savar.
Wishing you the best, Stéphane. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
