Do we ever experienced being empty handed? Can't provide even the necessity of our family? Or can't even eat atleast 3 times a day? If you didn't, good for you!
Because we did!

Our country is one of what we call third world country. I have seen and experienced how to not have something on our plate. I also have experienced to eat junk food for dinner or for lunch. Asking a close neighbor for help for atleast 200php because we don't have any. I have experienced being empty handed.
That's the reason why I'm so thankful right now because even if we have or we are experiencing this kind of Pandemic. I still have my job. I'm working from home and thank God he didn't let us experience those things again. It's so hard being nothing. Seeing your kids and thinking what you can provide for your family if you can't afford to, is so hard!
Tell you what, here in our area most of the family don't have or lost their job because of Covid 19 pandemic. Most are asking our government for help. They are starving not just for food but for the things that they and their families need to live.
Our government is doing their best to help. Even I is thinking to help others. I have experienced being nothing. That is why I want to share what I can to help people around me. Even in a small way.
This pandemic thought me to be grateful for what I have right now because most of the people around me don't have what I have.
Like for example:
- A comftable home to live, because their are families that are homeless.
- A family to be with, because their are people who are far from their own home and their families. Some are stranded in other countries, some are staying at the office.
- Having kids and husband who's helping me to be better every single day, because their are people who doesn't have theirs with them.
- Last but not the least, I still have my job and I'm working at the comfort of my home. That others don't have and they are hoping to have their bread and butter back.
Yes! It's hard! Being inside our house since March until now that it's June. I really can't count the days. Almost 3 months staying at home. I'm telling everyone here to just stay home. We can help others by just doing it, right?
Being counted as the poorest of the poor is peculiar to others. No one can think that there is this kind of status. But there is. Our people here are one of those. So please don't forget to bid your prayers for every country you know who is experiencing this kind.
