how is Henry doing now?
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you and your family. 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. Love from Bogor.
Sending love, Henry. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Henry
It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $2,150, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Oakland so I could bring a meal.
Thanks for sharing this, Henry. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 40 people at work.
wishing you the best, Henry. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Mysuru
Hope it all works out, Henry. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Best of luck, Henry. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in North Carolina. I'll ask around and let you know!
Wishing you the best, Henry. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Mumbai.
