But this widow works , for her seven children as the sole breadwinner of the home.
She works seven days a week a humbl laundry woman working in her customers
homes
There are no comforts nothing resembling a belying a purchase anything of pleasure .
Notwithstanding, she is confronted continuously As sole Provider for the welfare of the family. They are barely making it. Not a big leap to say it is sub sistence living, but it it has been the best she can do.
To make matters worse this year is the sixth death anniversary observed , and these independently observed of each other , which is a tradition acknowledged in the Phillipines, two Children and their premature deaths and her husbans murder.
Her living condition are so deplorable , seems bereft of hope, yet , she is not without such.
Not only is her thankful spirit visibly discernible , she has a remarkable absence of expectations from others. Instead she is motivated with a great sense of duty, in her Faith and for her children.
So much so is her great sense of responsibility for her family.
As of last Sunday Mary Jane slumped forward in her seat at Church , barely aware of her surroundings.
She was taken to the Provential Hospital , by Simon and Leah who attend that church.
She was admitted. She had had a heart attack.
And then in and out of awareness for the next 48 hours Mary Jane somehow managed to be concerned about her job and having her employers know she would find a temporary replacement.
She had survived but is told if she does not remain at rest she will certainly have another event.
We have provided a modest supply of heart health vitamins and remain " vigilant " in terms of probable financial assistance for her family.
Indeed, "the poor you have with you always". Jesus
"And the poor heard Him gladly"
