Sending love, Rosângela. This could happen to any of us.
What exactly is the $2,600 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. travel and lodging for the family comes first ($105) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
do you have the hospital estimate you could share with the moderators?
hope this works out for you. After 6 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
is it paid to the hospital directly?
I pay the hospital and post the receipt here so you can see where it went. Let me know if you want more detail.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Guarulhos.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Carlos?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about travel and lodging for the family, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
take care. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Olinda.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Mukono.
Thinking of you and your family, Rosângela. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Dundee but we're thinking of you. Take care.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
