At 6 my mother decided to send me to my Lola because my two older brothers are also living in the care of her. Raising 3 grandchildren at a time wasn’t easy for her because she’s not working and earning money to feed us. Our living depended on how much money our uncles can give us because our mother wasn’t even sending her money regularly. I still remember how often our Lola would go to a close friend or acquaintance just to borrow money so that we can eat. It was really hard. Then my eldest brother was sent here in PCM at the age of 10, I guess. Every time my Lola would go home after visiting my Kuya Noel she would always say that it was good here because everything is provided and we don’t have to worry about studying because PCM is willing to help. Then she asked me if I wanted to come here also and I said yes without hesitation.
Then at the age of 10 I came here in PCM. Studying and pursuing your dream apart from your family is hard. Its not always rainbows and butterflies. There will come a time that you just want to go home and be with your family. But I had a dream. I want to finish my studies until I go to college so I can help my family and provide for them. I endured and here I am now. I finished my degree in Business Administration.
PCM helped me not only with finishing my studies and providing for my needs. PCM also introduced me to God, and I have a deep relationship with Him. I accepted Jesus Christ during my stay here in PCM with the help of God's Glory Church. Because of PCM, my life changed. It shaped my whole being specially my spiritual life. And I will forever be thankful to our Almighty God for using PCM as an instrument to help me.
