Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
any update on how things are going in Jaffna?
You're not alone, Mahesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Albuquerque.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Mahesh?
Thank you. If you're in Jaffna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
wishing you peace, Mahesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mahesh.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale) comes first ($310) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Jaffna.
Hope it all works out, Mahesh. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer.
Stay strong, Mahesh. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up
