is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mensah
It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $480, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Obuasi.
Thank you. If you're in Obuasi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
thanks for sharing this, Mensah. Hope this works out for you. Love from Rajshahi
how is Mensah doing now?
rooting for you, Mensah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Bogotá
Sending love. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
praying for you, Mensah. I hope things turn around soon.
hope things get better soon, Mensah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Manila.
Best of luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Blessings
Praying for you, Mensah. Great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless!
