Sending good thoughts, Barbara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
How is Nicola doing now?
Hope the doctors have good news. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Milan
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 16 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Nicola?
Thank you. If you're in Milan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
so sorry you're going through this, Barbara. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Palmira so I could bring a meal.
Take care, Barbara. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Duque de Caxias
Wishing Nicola a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together.

Sending good thoughts, Barbara. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless

So sorry you're going through this, Barbara. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
you're not alone, Barbara. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
Good luck, Barbara. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted.
Hope this works out for you. After 10 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings!

Stay strong, Barbara. Get well soon. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Caxias do Sul
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
