You're not alone, Ruwan. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ruwan.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($270) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Colombo.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Lagos
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Haarlem.
Sending love, Ruwan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Sheffield.
