Stories of Gratitude

This is my sister, a frontliner, and this is her story.

Born and raised as the eldest in our family, she learned responsibility at an early age. Dedication and loyalty were inculcated in her as well as she helped our mom raise us. She always made sure my brother and i were taken care of and never neglected. She has worked in the banking industry since she graduated Magna Cum Laude in college. Even with working at a desk job everyday, she still manages to raise 4 kids and help them with their schoolwork without the help of a tutor. And now, even when establishments had to close or limit manpower to protect themselves, she still reports to her office early in the morning and leaves an hour after closing time every single day. She is one of the unmentioned and unthanked people during this trying time, yet her work is equally important as others because not only does she save countless people by keeping their finances stable, but she also saves the life of our beloved country’s economy. She is an amazing person, a loving wife, a dedicated mother, a wonderful daughter, a supportive sister, a fantastic friend, and to her clients, she is an unsung hero who continues to sacrifice and serve with a smile. #StoriesOfGratitude #CaringCup #CBTLph
