My wish is to help my 82-year-old grandma with her medication and check-ups. As a working student in the Philippines, healthcare isn't easily accessible for those with fewer means. The costs for medication, bills, regular check-ups, and doctor's fees are expensive. Despite working part-time for $2 per hour, I dedicate myself to an 8-hour class schedule, often feeling exhausted and sleep-deprived. Yet, my greatest comfort is returning home to my grandma. She relies solely on a meager pension of $40 per month, which barely covers the cost of check-ups, let alone medication. Grandma has been my pillar of strength since childhood, ensuring I never went hungry or felt deprived despite our financial hardships. Now, it's my turn to repay her kindness. My motivation isn't merely to repay a debt, but to reassure her that I'll always be there for her, no matter what. Because in the end, it's not about what we owe, but about the love and support we give freely to those who matter most.

Love, your apo
