thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Thanks for sharing this, Rafael. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Hannover
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Márcio!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (eight months) is the biggest at $1,550. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thanks for sharing this, Rafael. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
