Take care. Great idea, hope you get there. My neighbor in Depok donated after I showed her your page.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Marilyn?
Thank you. If you're in Aberdeen I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Best of luck, Marilyn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marilyn.
Roofing sheets and timber is $1,950 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Best of luck, Marilyn. I hope things turn around soon.
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Aberdeen
how is Marilyn doing now?
Sending love, Marilyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Stuttgart this morning. God bless.
this could happen to any of us. Love from Shinjuku.
Looking forward to the next update. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Petrรณpolis.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Best of luck, Marilyn. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Blessings
your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 13 people at work. God bless.
Best of luck, Marilyn. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Dodoma.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
