An overseas Filipino worker (OFW) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia shared her sense of fulfillment over the construction of her new home only one year into her employment overseas.
OFW Noemi Rafales is in cloud nine upon seeing the progress of construction of her new home in the Philippines.
When she left the country, she promised her children that she would work hard to start the construction of their own house the soonest, reported Kami.
Rafales held on to her promise and in March this year, the house that once was just a dream has become a reality.
“Hindi pa naman tapos lahat kasi wala pang bintana, flooring, at palitada. Ang mahalaga tumupad ako sa pangako ko sa kanila at hindi ko sila n binigo,” Rafales said.
The OFW said seeing her hard work come to fruition made the nights of being away from her family worth it.
Aside from her new home, Rafales was also able to buy four goats for additional source of income.
“Ngayong buwan, nanganak na lahat nung apat na inahin kaya sobra akong nagpapasalamat sa Maykapal sa lahat ng blessing na natanggap namin,” Rafales shared.
Rafales’ advice to her fellow is simple – reach for your goals, no matter how simple they are.
“Kung ano man yung pangarap nyo ituloy niyo lang. Huwag kayong mawawalan ng loob hangga’t nandito kayo sa abroad at kumikita, samantalahin niyo ang mag-ipon para sa katuparan ng mga pangarap niyo.”
