When's the deadline? Is February firm?
Yes February is the real date. I'm working on a few other things at the same time but this is the main hurdle. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there, Enrique. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from São Paulo.
Has the hospital estimate been checked by the HelpBLESS team?
I sent the hospital estimate in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. It helps to be asked.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 12 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Glasgow but we're thinking of you
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
