“Nanay Milagros, at 79, is the pillar supporting her seven children and four grandchildren, shouldering their daily expenses. Yes, at 79!!
Every day, Nanay Milagros walks kilometers from her home to the market, and back, buying and selling vegetables. Despite her hard work, the most she earns is just 150 pesos a day.
With tears in her eyes, she confided in me that she’s exhausted. We can ease her burden by finding someone to help cover her grandchild’s school transportation costs. I assured her I will find someone who will help support for her grandchild’s education.
I haven’t found anyone yet, but if you’d like to help her directly, feel free to message me.”
