Is replacing three industrial sewing machines the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Sure. The biggest one is replacing three industrial sewing machines, $520. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending strength, Óscar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Sandton
Thinking of you, Óscar. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Cali!
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Saint Paul this morning. God bless
