Meet my sisters

I have five sisters and I am the oldest. As I was growing up, I showed my sister how to beat the poverty by doing something to improve our lives. But I guess, my example was not good enough because they just simply gave up their education.

Next to me is my sister Roselda (33 years old), she has three children now. Her husband is working as a maintenance guy in TESDA. We asked my sister to live with Mama before because her husband is not taking care of her and the kids very good. He has vices (drinking, and gambling) and he only give limited amount to his family. My heart was crushed when she decided to take the kids back to Manila to live with her husband. She became so skinny again. But I can't blame her because she is thinking of her children growing up without their Dad on their sight.

Next is Rebecca (31) and has three kids also. Her husband don't have a permanent job so she is constantly complaining about her life situation to me. I keet telling her that it's the life she chose. I hate to see my siblings suffer but my resources is also limited, I don't have a job and we are supporting my Mother and sending two of my younger sibs to school.This is Rosemarie (24), we called her Yheng. I sent her in college but she decided to stop and just look for work. She never find a job when she went to Manila but instead she got pregnant and the father of her son did not want to take any responsibility. So she went home to have her baby at my Mom's house. I was devastated by the choices she made but there's nothing I can do but to understand her situation.
This is Lyn (22), my husband and I wanted to send her to College after she graduated HS but she did not want to. She has now a daughter and a baby on the way. I am just glad that her husband is a nice guy and has a permanent job that can support her and the baby.

This is Mae, she's our youngest. She turned 16 last month and is now attending college. When my father died, she was only ten years old then. My late brother became her father figure when papa died so she took it so hard when my brother died too. She grieved so much and passed out several times during my brother's wake and burial.

These photos were taken before I left going to States. With my sisters Roselda and kids, Lyn, Mae, Becca and kids.
