Is housing deposit and first month the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. housing deposit and first month is the big one at $1,500, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Eugene.

Sending strength, Melanie. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mansoura
