Rooting for you. Small businesses are the heart of Guarulhos. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
Take care. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Guarulhos.
Sending strength, Cláudio. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Guarulhos.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Guarulhos.
Thinking of you and your family, Cláudio. Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Saint-Denis but we're thinking of you. Love from Saint-Denis!
Good luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best
best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care!
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Praying for you, Cláudio. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
