Stay strong, Lucy. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless!
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Corpus Christi
Thank you. If you're in Corpus Christi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Saint-Denis.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.
