Rock Bottom

I'm currently writting in a state of being so upset. I just scratch my brothers brand new car today, like there are so many time I used it already and I scratch it on our garage gate. unbelievable I'm very careful on the road. I know how it felt on the side of my brother. It's really upsetting I just borrowed it and I know how it feels. I'm already on debt right now and we had some hospital bill earlier this march due to my daughter hospitalization having a fever. It was 59k total and had some discounts applied and had it less to 38k. We just paid like 18k coming from friends fund raising. the remaining was on promissory note from my wife who's working in the same hospital my daughter was admitted. Earlier this year 2026 January my dad had an accident and he broke his bone on the hip area around the ball joint connecting on the pelvic. we need to have him on a surgery and make an inplant titanium to connect the bone. Thank God this March my dad's already using a walker and getting better now. I was already unemployed at the same time from a BPO telco account during the month my dad begin the surgery, I wasn't able to maintain my perfect attendance during this period and very critical, so before the surgery began I was pulled out on the account. it's kinda good because I need to look after my dad during surgery and recovery but bad as my finances also hits. I only got my wife also working in the hospital and her salary was just enough to get by with the expenses we have. My wife and I talked on how we keep up and hoping we can get through it. Our kids are 4 yrs old and a twin boys going 2 yrs old. We also have boys with their grandparents in different house two cities away from our place. In life there things unforseen and I could never imagine I was with this situation one day. like 2023 we're just good and 2 to 3 years after you are in a mess. Things are not certain and money comes with the big part of it. financially and emotionally plays with the big factor running through this tough time. We hope as family we could get through all of this. Life in the Philippines doesn't need a very high cost of living but decent living here is like in edge of a breakdown with a sudden unforseen event and most Filipinos is like this living paycheck to paycheck. As you've reading this I hope you find yourself a refuge and just hang in there we are all having this struggles and hope one day triump and success may come in your life. If you need someone to talk too with life. Feel free to sent me an email genpunongbayan07@gmail.com thank you and keep safe out there.
