hope things get better soon, Josefina. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours
Good luck, Josefina. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending good thoughts. Small businesses are the heart of Manila. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
You're not alone, Josefina. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Howrah so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Josefina. Hope the shop reopens soon.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in San Cristóbal de las Casas this morning.
best of luck. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Stay strong, Josefina. I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care!
