Is there anything that isn't money that would help Angela?
Thank you. If you're in Rome I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Sending good thoughts, Angela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Łódź so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Rome.
Wishing you peace, Angela. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
How is Angela doing now?
keep going. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Angela.
Wishing you peace, Angela. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Angela. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Rome
You're not alone. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. All the best.
Hang in there, Angela. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together!
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you, Angela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
