Wishing you the best, Tarun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from București
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Joliet.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tarun!
Sure. The biggest one is tools and protective gear, $450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Zapopan donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Bakersfield.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Tarun?
Best of luck, Tarun. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from San Antonio.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Takoradi but we're thinking of you. Love from Takoradi.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going, Tarun. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Wishing you the best, Tarun. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Tarun. Your post was clear and honest. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
