Good luck. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Josiane
Rent top-up is $670 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
thanks for sharing this, Josiane. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted
Wishing you peace, Josiane. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Accra so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
