Elderly Father Seeks Help to Fix Their Damaged Home
An elderly father from Legazpi City is seeking help after being left by his wife to raise his two children alone.
A 61-year-old father named Haggeo Oquinalda continues to stand strong for his two young children, whom he now raises on his own. Tatay Haggeo reached out for help, unable to hold back his emotions as he shared his situation.
The senior citizen breaks hearts of netizens due to the challenges he faces as a single parent. His wife, who once left work abroad, never came back and eventually chose to be with someone else, leaving him to care for their children alone.
Tatay Haggeo works as a caretaker to support his family,. However, his income is not enough to fix their small and damaged house. The structure is in poor condition, and even during dry days, water still finds its way inside. It becomes even more difficult when it rains, as they struggle to stay safe and dry.
Still, he does everything he can to provide for his children. He continues to work hard each day, making sure they have something to eat and a place to sleep, no matter how simple it may be. His love and dedication as a father are clear, even in the face of hardship.
Tatay Haggeo is now asking for any kind of help. Simple materials like roofing sheets or coco lumber would already mean a lot to him and his family. These small contributions could help them rebuild their home and give them a safer place to live.
