My name is Maria. I'm 16. My family and I needs your help.
My family just immigrated from the Philippines last year. We used to live a good life and we didn't really struggle financially.
Now, when we moved to the US, our lucked changed. My father who worked as a Social Worker in the Philippines is now only a 'cart pusher' at the airport and is earning 7.50$ an hour. My mother who worked as a court interpreter is currently unemployed and is trying her best to get a new job. Both my parents are of old age my mom is 63 and my dad is 60.
We used to live in a two story, 4 bedroom house in the Philippines and had a maid who pretty much did all the chores for us. Now, we're living in a room in a house owned by a Filipino family with 6bedrooms and pay 650$ a month for a room that only fits a king size bed and a kitchen table. Paying rent every month is getting harder and harder for my family, having only my father who's working and earns only 1,000$ a month.
My parents' health aren't very good either. My father had diabetes and both my parents are sick most of the time. And they both are in medication. My dad stopped taking some of his medicines because we don't have the money to buy them and his condition is getting worse.
I am currently applying for a job and had applied for 10 different stores and companies. Sadly, none had accepted me. But I'm still trying hoping that I would get a job and help with my family's financial issues.
So if you have an extra dollar or two, please help us. We're selling almost everything we have in our small place and sadly none of the items were successfully sold. We also got ripped off with the amount of $700 and we badly needed that money for my dad's immediate treatment.
All we need is $1,500 to go back to the Philippines and for my father's medications. please help us.
With your help my family's life would be better and especially my parents'. I'm not doing this for my own good. But for the welfare of my parents and for the hope of them getting better.
