How is Jose doing now?
Sending good thoughts, Jose. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Birmingham
Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Birmingham
any chance of seeing the funeral home quote?
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in São Paulo but we're thinking of you.
Hope it all works out, Jose. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 8 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, Jose. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.
