Is there anything that isn't money that would help Seydou?
Thank you. If you're in Paris I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hang in there, Seydou. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Seydou
Sure. The biggest one is mobility aids and bathroom adaptations, $510. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
Wishing you the best, Seydou. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Karachi.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Paris.
