Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Minneapolis
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about winter clothing and school supplies, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Best of luck, Keith. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Love from Antalya.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Saint-Denis.
do you have the resettlement agency letter you could share with the moderators?
I sent the resettlement agency letter in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Thanks for looking so closely.
keep going, Keith. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Aurangabad but we're thinking of you.
Is winter clothing and school supplies the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. winter clothing and school supplies is the big one at $700, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Blessings
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
