can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ho.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about course fees and exam costs, advice is welcome too.
Hang in there, Mabel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Derry this morning. Take care!
Do you have the lease you could share with the moderators?
I do, the lease is with the HelpBLESS team. Happy to answer anything else about it. Let me know if you want more detail.

Rooting for you, Mabel. Your post was clear and honest.
Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
