That is brutal. I grew up without money but haven’t experienced this. I did nearly die during heart surgery and had to comeback from that. The key to any comeback is taking it one small step at a time. Celebrate the tiniest victories because that fuels you for tomorrow’s step. https://t.co/PP5pZTXQxS
