is June a hard date?
It's firm, June. After that things get a lot harder, so anything before then helps most.
Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Makati.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Campinas
Wishing you peace. Wishing Samuel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Campinas.
Any update on how things are going in Campinas?
Better days than last week. Thank you all, a fuller update is coming. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope it all works out, Heloísa. Wishing Samuel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
What's already covered and what's the $1,450 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (eight months) comes first ($1,000) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
you're not alone, Heloísa. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Will you pay the care agency directly?
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

our local city council office has an emergency fund, might be worth asking them.
Wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Vadodara.
Rooting for you, Heloísa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
