Eternally Grateful

--by DANCE, posted Dec 27, 2025

Last year when I was so seriously ill I had a very special lady help me when I couldn't even get out of bed for basic things ...I had only just met her, she'd been recommended to help around the house with cleaning and small duties, especially when I travel and I'm not there. She has hardly any formal education and has had a very challenging life, mostly in poverty. I could not have imagined what a beautiful heart and soul she'd be!!!! She stayed by my side and looked after me as if she'd known me all her life. I'll always be grateful for what she did. As soon as I got better I found ways to help her and her family; more work, small gifts, food, company (as I then learned she suffers from depression and has epilepsy). I've tried to be there for her as much as I could, even online while I am abroad. She has 2 relatively young good hearted children who are doing well at school and adore her. I'm now trying to find work for the eldest so he can have a little extra income while he (hopefully) continues his education. His 18 year old birthday was last week so I ordered a meal online and sent it to them to share with the family. They were so happy and grateful! They can't imagine how happy it makes ME!
