Sending strength, Paisley. It takes guts to ask. Well done!
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Grand Rapids
Stay strong, Paisley. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Rooting for you, Paisley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Paisley!
Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators is $1,050 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hang in there, Paisley. Small businesses are the heart of Grand Rapids. Hope you're open again soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Mangaluru.
rooting for you, Paisley. Hope you get there. Love from Coyoacán.
Hang in there, Paisley. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Kandy but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Kandy
