A 63 years old OFW who works as a Family Driver of Al-Ghareeb family was very thankful for her employer's generosity and kindness as they paid the hospital bill of her youngest child who got ill which amounted to almost half a million pesos and when they shouldered again the hospital bill when her son got sick.
According to Kuwaittimes Inay Viola hailed from Batangas City and had five children with his deceased husband whom she married when she was 16 years old. Sad thing, her husband left her and their children when she was 27 years old after battling cancer.
Viola and her children were struggling with their finances to support their daily needs. As a mother, she tried to clean the houses and do the laundry of their neighbors just to earn money for their family. When the time came that they were trapped in enormous debt and when nobody ever lends them even a single centavo for her children’s food, that’s the time she had decided to work abroad.
She also said that those times were so difficult for her but she has to work day and night to earn a living for her children. Sad thing though, she added, that here in the Philippines, even if you work hard, it seemed like it wasn’t still enough.
Viola arrived in Kuwait in 1985 where she started to work for Al-Ghareeb family as a domestic helper. According to her, by the time that she arrived, the eldest child of her employer was barely only a month old. She was the one who took care of all her employer’s children. In the year 1995, she has been promoted as the Al-Ghareeb’s family driver. She would send her employers to their office, sends their children to school and run errands for the family.
The domestic helper expressed her gratitude in finding kind employers with Al-Ghareeb family. She said she considers them as God’s blessing, her angels who were always there to help not only her but her whole family as well.
With gratefulness, she said that she has found a second home with her employers and she couldn’t thank them enough. She seemed like a family member to them. In fact, she was treated by her employer’s children as their grandmother. She had already traveled to more than 30 countries in Europe, Asia, America and Africa.
Although Viola said she considers Kuwait as his second home, Philippines remained to be her homeland which she said she missed going home to when they held a vacation.
