Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 9 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Shireen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Marrakesh.
Thanks for sharing this, Shireen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 22 people at work
Rooting for you, Shireen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't give up.
Good luck, Shireen. Wishing Mark a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of East London.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Love from Addis Ababa.
