This is my first time in posting this Blog hope im doing right with this.
This young girl here is Caren, 14 years old, she grew up in the same Island I grew up Mahanay Island of Bohol. Her life story interests me 'coz its so sad. Let me tell you the story.
Her mother was a single mom and they were struggling of survival, until the day that her mother got mysterious illness. They couldnt take her to the Doctor 'coz they didnt have any money. After so many months of suffering the pain she just gave up and died when Caren was only 4 years old. Caren's grandparents raised her but the same problem "financial". Her grandparent's is raising two other grand kids that are younger than her 'coz the mother of the kids abandoned them coz she said she couldn't afford to raise the kids coz she is also a single mom. The old people is having hard time to take care the 3 kids. They are maybe on their 80's. Year Caren's grandmother and the youngest kid died coz of starvation. They died on the same day. Its really really sad to hear that they staved to death. I really feel so sorry with this family.
Yesterday, my mother just got back from the Island of Mahanay to give the house key of her freind's son to let them stay there for awhile. And she saw the grandfather of Caren, so she was checkin' on them and he said "the same as usual struggling even more". And Caren beg my mother, she wants to come with her to work for my sister. But my sister has already housekeeper but she came anyway and she talked to my sister she was crying in front of us. She said she needs help, if she will stay in the Island she they will starve to death too. So my sister accept her as a baby sitter. And I think that she is happy to be here she knows that we cannot let starve.
Im glad that my sister help her so that she can send money back home to her grandfather and the kid. Caren is a very good girl, she doesn't rest even if we tell her to rest. She told us that she is willing to do all the work as long as she have something to eat and can buy few clothes. We are just here for her.
