Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manuela
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $580. Thanks, that means a lot.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Petrópolis.
keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Brampton.

Take care, Manuela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. God bless!
thanks for sharing this, Manuela. Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace, Manuela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
