is there anything that isn't money that would help Adewale?
Thank you. If you're in Nnewi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adewale
Roofing sheets and timber is $440 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
