Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Sakai.
Take care, Joyce. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Odesa.
Hang in there. 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. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of Lapu-Lapu. Hope you're open again soon.
