I teared up watching this video. I have So much respect for his hard-work, love for his family, and how strong he is. I wish his dreams come true and meet with his family.

[@lacuachaero]

The sad thing is that, some of them only gets 1500aed in a month with no free food and just accomation. 😔

[@ChristineJustino0701]

Im lost of words. This video reminds me of my own struggle to be away from my family. But yes, indeed we are blessed to be working here. Hope to see you around Edgardo and keep that smile always.

[@link2442]

If you are still working overseas try to always save at least 10% of your pay, yes I understand that you need to help your family but you need to start to help yourself first to ensure that you won't have to sacrifice too much in questionable employers and have family members invest not waste money on non important materials but on medication, studies and retirement

[@jplin888]

Anne A You’re a very kind hearted person. Thank you for offering your help to this gentleman. You right 2.5k is not a lot and I don’t know how can he survive with only 500 dirham in a country like Dubai where everything is expensive. Anyway God bless you and your family. 🙏🏼❤️

[@AA-sy1mn]

J P LIN I appreciate your thoughtful message. Thank you.

[@lacuachaero]

He has free accomodation and free food from the hotel. So mostly he would only spend something for toiletries etc. I guess he doesnt go out that much. Like going to a club or something. So he can get by.

[@khothone8405]

@Anne ... He's a hardworking person and he deserves a big Blessing from God, and You are the God to him.... Congratulations 👍

[@jplin888]

J R I am sure he can survive with the 500 dirham monthly but how about electricity, water, transportation. I guess its not that cheap there in Dubai. I thought their salary might be a bit higher considering he is working in Dubai. At the end of the month, I guess there is hardly anything left in his pocket. That’s sad!

Van Dam really? You know us? She owns three business here and we live in her home. I never put a dime into it. She had everything she needed before I met her. She’s not a child but a grown-ass woman. And everything I had in the US, I still have. But now I rent out my home and make more income for saving and investing. Sounds like sour grapes. Now really isn’t the time to be spreading hate and your prejudice viewpoints about other people.
