Hera's Life

Hello im Hera and the best thing about me is, im willing to work hard for my family. 
I'm still studying right now and wishing to finish my study to get a stable job.
I'm from a big family with 4 siblings and my parents are getting old.
I came from a poverty life but we hold together to survive and with the help of god. 
I really didn't much celebrate christmas because with a reason that we dont have enough amount of money to prepare. sometimes I get gift for christmas 
but one thing i want to wish is a good health and a happy life. 
Every holidays i do laundry to earn money for food and medicine and for my study also.So my holidays or weekend are not boring. 


In my early childhood i learnt how to understand the situation we have.
when i was young i really want to start school but mom cant afford to send me
to school. when i was 7 im happy because i was start school in grade school until
this age i am now.


Lets say my family is a sickly people always got sick so we always need to have medecine
or check up and the reason why always got sick is because we also have lack of foods and vitamins.


I came from big family with three girls including me and 1 boy. Everyday we survive by the help of each other
so we thank god for helping us also.
My parents are getting old and jobless so only us make way to survive everyday needs.
we came from a poverty sorroundings and family so hoping in time we will come to step up to the next stage to experiece the wealthy of life.


My mom worked before as a domestic , rope maker and also do laundry and same time a housewife.
While my father worked any kind of job, even he carry a heavey things as a laborer.
but even with that kind of job they let us grow up as a good person and give our needs and
send us to school.


For consecutive years our country suffer much in typhoon, floods, and land slide and
many gets homeless in other cities or provinces. Our house is made from old trees 
so getting much hole in the wall and windows need to be fix.


To survive and provide for our family everyday me and my sister work in different part time job.
my sister do laundry in neighbors and me as well at weekends. 
my sister is talented so she know many more job me. So we survive eevryday by helping each other and we are contented by the things that we have.


So our life now is in the stage of working hard to survive and looking for a stable job to have a stable financial income.
and im still continue to study with my other siblings. so this is how we survive everyday because we all say that "think for today not
for tomorrow as we need to survive today"


My hope and wish let say my dream in future is to finish my study have a stable job and mostly,
i can buy own house for my family and have own business even if its little , 
because business start with nothing it can only go up. So i'm hoping my wish and hopes will be for granted.


And my older sister dream is to finish her course in college and master her skills in diferent kind of jobs.
She want also to have stable job now for her little baby. So that she can support her baby needs today and in the comming future.
Our life is interesting but i think its fun also bacause we are suporting each other and we are so proud of it.


So this is me and my interesting life.

Aims and Goals

Our aims are to provide help for families to open new bank accounts and paypal account to make it easier for people to receive help. before the families have managed to open a bank account or paypal account the main paypal account linked to the donate button is used and the cash you send is then sent via WesternUnion. Isnt it easier just sending directly via Western Union ourselves? No! we cut down the number of transaction charges Western Union take each time you send cash to a loved one, friend or family on this blog so there for by only sending cash once the person you are sending the cash to recieves more cash to buy items they need to survive. Once a family has or if they already have a bank account and paypal account a donate button is placed directly on their page so they can withdraw the cash you send from their own paypal accounts directly to their own bank accounts, this is vital for their own independence. Our aim is to guide them and not to smother them. We only offer help to those who need it, for as long as they want it. Once a family is equipt with everything they need to recieve donations and help you will donate directly to them. We do not charge for the service we give so rest assured the cash you send, minus the charges banks, paypal and western union set, goes directly to the person you wish to help.
