Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hala.
It's all in the list in the story. replacing three industrial sewing machines is the big one at $175, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
best of luck, Hala. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Hala. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Take care, Hala. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cairo
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing three industrial sewing machines, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.

Good luck. Hope you get there. God bless.
How is Hala doing now?

hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
You're not alone, Hala. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
