Hang in there, Isabela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Birmingham
Hang in there, Isabela. Shared it with a few friends.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ribeirão Preto.
Thank you. If you're in Ribeirão Preto I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family.
How is Isabela doing now?
You're not alone, Isabela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Take care, Isabela. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
