husband speaking – not really following this story but you have my like and I am letting the story run to the end. It is 6:30 pm today in Vistamar , above New Town. Just sitting on the porch enjoying the Breeze.😃
Jimsel’s phone quite possibly could be on silent, or sound is turned off too.
Also, if notifications are on notices pop up on the screen, unless notifications are off.
I’m so impressed Derek with you everyday and every video that you are able to set boundaries. I feel it sometimes very sad that family members use other family members to get what they want or need through guilt. My fiance’s family tries that with her all the time and we have to realize the struggles that Filipinas have when they’re with an American. they don’t always let us know how they’re feeling about their family members constantly contacting them and asking them for money. Our fiance and wives have it difficult also. I just wanted to recognize that. take care of everybody and I hope you have a Happy thanksgiving!
You are absolutely right. We are in Manila now and this very day, we witnessed an elderly lady directing and pointing out “foreigners” to a kid that doesn’t look more than 10 yrs old and he runs to ask gor money
Nice young lady who has like so many others, lots of struggles to deal with. She mentioned she was depressed at some point but feels better now. I would not say it was or was not depression but just want to share the thought that depression is not suddenly gone when a problem is solved. People who have depression know how to hide it and even do feel great on there good days. But on the bad days, the days are very bad.
Don’t let this unnoticed. Just checking up from time to time, having some one on one talks, could make a big difference.
Those who feel good are better resistent to problems as well. But when I view her bodylanguage in general, she could use some uplifting talks from time to time. It can be as simple as just some random text or call to check how she’s doing (if she can be reached). Yes I know this is just a moment in time and we don’t get to know her by watching this video. But that makes it even more concerning to notice such …
Obvious I can be totally wrong as well
Yes, Dennis. We make ourselves available to those we sponsor. I concur on your point on depression. From the previous video, she shared a very dark past and we do listen when she shares
@Gringo27857 aaahhh… I see where this is going. I never asked for your donation nor anyone’s donation with 1 exception to a 3 yr old child with a dire heart condition. I do this on my own anyway in a country I hold dear in my heart. I document and share my experiences on YouTube for those who WANTS to watch. Viewers want to participate and I kindly accept while absorbing the processing fee from whatever payment platform. You spin it however you want to spin it and I will continue to do what I do
Derek, she unable to control the money. If her family needs the money, she cannot stop giving it to them. You can’t stop this from happening. If you want to help, pay her bills yourself. One at a time. Know where the money goes. Any other way will fall.
I agree with you Eddy. But it’s not sustainable for me to just do things for people. I don’t want the dependency. I just want to mentor them and tell them truths. If they are not receptive, then it is not meant to be. But it’s my desire to mentor them to break that cycle that is your point

Awe.. you are back already

Great advice given by Derek.
Focus on school because education will pay your bills in future 😉
Good to see Jimsel smile a bit. I can’t imagine the pressure on her shoulders. She is a strong young lady.

How much are you talking about yourselves we know most of that and we appreciate it, me for my part I would like to see more like a dialogue. 😊

I forgot her back story . Why cant her father support the family?
It’s difficult for men and women after 35 yrs of age to get a job here. He is a construction laborer where his boss went bankrupt
@qadventures so, young, healthy, able bodied. He sent her to you to get his electric bill paid. Come on Derek.
Are we to believe that in that society a 35 yo healthy man can no longer support his family and needs our donations through you to make it right?
