can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tokyo
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a full set of tools, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Dasmariñas but we're thinking of you
Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
