how is Lwazi doing now?
You're not alone, Lwazi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Pretoria
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lwazi?
Thank you. If you're in Pretoria I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Pretoria.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lwazi
Sure. The biggest one is roofing sheets and timber, $1,050. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
thanks for sharing this, Lwazi. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Blessings.
wishing you the best, Lwazi. Great idea, hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Accra.
I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Montréal.
Sending love. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Pretoria.
Thanks for sharing this, Lwazi. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you peace, Lwazi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Best of luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
hope things get better soon, Lwazi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Love from Córdoba.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
hang in there, Lwazi. It takes guts to ask. Well done!
Good luck, Lwazi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
you're not alone. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Mecca
