Wish of A Single Mom and A Breadwinner

Hi,

Disclaimer: This is a summary of my roller-coaster life so brace yourselves with a long but interesting story.

My name is Van, I am 33 yrs old, a breadwinner and a single mom of my adorable and wonderful 3 year old daughter. I adopted my child. From a nanny of our neighbor who was looking for someone to take care of her daughter since she can no longer sustain the needs of the other 2 kids she had.

I love kids, i love to help people so I took a step forward and say "I'll take her" without hesitation. No regrets. And yes it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.

I grew up in a poor family. But I relied on school. My dreams and my ambition of becoming a CPA someday. I was an honor student until secondary school.

Then the nightmare began after finishing high school. Demolition team came up after we lost the battle of keeping our house that we were not aware of the ownerhip issues. We lost everything. My father lost his job because he focused on that battle of fighting for his right in the house he bought from the money he got from being a security guard for 18 years. My mother has been a housewife ever since. I have 2 little sisters at that time. 2 and 4 years of age. I, the eldest was 17 years old at that time.

We stayed in the streets for days. Until months. Then we built a mini house made of scrapped metals and woods on the side of the street.

I am not always in church but my faith is really strong and I am someone who loves to pray in silence. "God, I know you are up there watching your plans work. Please give me strength" Then I realized I had to step up for our family. I started working even when I had to fake my id's just to make myself look like im in my legal age since I only a year away from being so. A waitress, sales lady, receptionist, band vocalist, call center agent and now I am a Virtual Assistant. Yes I was everywhere but I am proud of where I started and where I am now. Still, with my family but most especially with my daughter.

The problem with working early is you tend to take responsibility on almost anything even if it is already beyond your circle.

Street vendors, stray dogs, cats, homeless children and even janitors. I always see myself handing them over something. May that be food, small change, water, and anything I can offer that can help them think that there's someone out there who sees their struggle and that there is HOPE.

I maybe too soft but most people see me as a strong person who knows how to fight my battles.

So now, as part of my tradition, which I would love my daughter to inherit from me when I pass away, is the gift of giving.

No matter how small, I always save yearly to give something to the homeless before Christmas. It is just in my nature to be happy when I know that everyone is happy.

I cook, i gather some old clothes, shoes and anything that can still be useful to other people, then go around, look for homeless people and share it to them.

This year has not been good due to some losses in the family so my savings has been used up so I am here now taking my chances of letting everyone involved with my small christmas agenda.

I am targeting the homeless children as I would like my daughter and my family to be part of when we are ready to go around and give out these gifts so they can see and feel the satisfaction of seeing happy and grateful faces.

I am knocking in your generous hearts to let me continue this legacy and make sure that no one is left behind this coming holiday season.

Any amount, as long as it is not with a heavy heart will be very much appreciate and put into good use.

I thank you all in advance for reading until this part of my campaign and for the help you will provide.

Advance Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! FYI: These are all words from myself and not ChatGPT. I know thats funny but it's true.
