Thinking of you and your family, Birgit. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Cologne
Any update on how things are going in Cologne?
Sending strength, Birgit. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sebastian.
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $7,000 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in North Rhine-Westphalia. I'll ask around and let you know
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sebastian?
Thank you. If you're in Cologne I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this, Birgit. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Wishing you the best, Birgit. Hope you get there. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Rooting for you, Birgit. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Nnewi.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Cologne.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
