Would a few hours help or do you need more of a commitment?
Even one session helps. If it goes well we can talk about doing it regularly. Let me know if you want more detail.
Keep going, Rachel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Is it okay to meet somewhere public first?
Please do bring a friend. And yes, meeting in a public place first is totally fine with me.
Thinking of you and your family, Rachel. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Ogbomosho.
I've never done this before, would that be a problem?
Beginners are welcome. Reliable and kind is all that matters. Good question.
Have you tried the local community center? They sometimes help with part of this.
Could I do evenings? I work days
Evenings and weekends both work. Tell me what suits you and I'll fit around it. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family, Rachel. Your post was clear and honest. After 7 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best, Rachel. Hope this works out for you
Rooting for you, Rachel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
