Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Joliet!
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
Hang in there, Samantha. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Mississauga.
Rooting for you, Samantha. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Samantha
Sure. The biggest one is language classes and bus passes, $390. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Love from Yonkers.
Stay strong, Samantha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Novosibirsk!
Thanks for sharing this, Samantha. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up
You're not alone, Samantha. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
