Keep going, Jacques. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Themba
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the biggest at $1,450. Thanks for looking so closely.
Sending good thoughts, Jacques. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of East London
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Dehiwala.
