Our house was just a make shift shelter, but due to some unfortunate incidents (hospitalizations and the passing of one of my sibling, our mother getting locked up due to imigration laws, and our small business getting bankrupt because of covid, maintenance for my parents, and my younger brother is in college), we are strugling to raise enough money to build a house, we barely even manage to settle the purchase of the land, and due to some technicalities we might even loose it. We are all working but its just enough to cover our daily expenses. Just this month a section of the roof cave in during a strong storm, and flooded our house, me, my brother and father jump in to patch the roof, while the rest tried to contain the water. After a few hours the rain stopped. I got some cuts from holding the GI sheets, which really hurt, but the sight of my parents broke me. It was very hard for me to see them in such state, considering their health and age, it was too much.
im a classroom teacher, and its something i have really wanted to do, its not a high paying job (230$ a month) and from time to time i share portions of my sallary to purchase materials i need in school. I can bare the pay, but seeing how my parents are, I couldn't help but feel guilty, because what if i would have just worked oversees as a skilled worker, and focused more on my family perhaps we wouldnt be in such state. They arent asking much from us but it just frustrating, seeing the way they are.
I am planning to finish my contract this school year do some training, and apply overseas. I just hope i could atleast leave some money to start the construction of our house because it would take some time before i could send some money.
I just really hope that this will somehow work, because it would really mean so much to my family.
Thank you and God bless.
