Granting My Mama's Christmas Wish

in #gratefulvibes7 years ago (edited)

I just can't contain my happiness today for I just granted my mum's ultimate wish this Christmas -- Refrigerator.

Few months ago, our Ref gave up on us after almost a decade of service. I badly wanted to buy a new one but failed multiple times due to some financial constraints. A Ref doesn't cost that much, but I have more important things to prioritize since I'm the cheesebread winner of my family.

But with the help of Steemit, I gained significant amount of money to realize the things I wanted to buy for my family.

I haven't told anyone about my plan, so I was all by myself lately.

IMG_20171220_220550.JPGI had this freebie for buying the Ref in cash!

Afterwards, I decided to buy groceries using the remaining money. After all, this ref would be useless without something in it, so why not give a full Ref package? XD

I'm not used to do the groceries so I just picked whatever my eyes saw!

Until I realized I can't bring them all on my own. XD

Then a bright idea came up. Ting!

The Ref is still to be delivered, so I left the groceries at the mall's baggage area to head home.

Since the mall is just few minutes away from our home, I gave the grocery card number to my mother and asked if she could be the one to claim those groceries. Few minutes later, the delivery came.

And then... my mom came.

Her reaction was Priceless!!!

She can't help but hug the Ref! She realized later that I deserve a hug too! XD

They were very amazed when I told them I used up my proceeds from blogging to buy those! They thought I was just joking when I told them about it XD

Part of the groceries, particularly the Salad and Spaghetti set are intented for my co-worker, Jessa, our Warehouse in-charge.

I always admire this girl for being so strong enough to handle her life's struggles. She's also her family's bread winner, so I hope this will somehow aid her financially this Christmas.

I will share her story and her reaction on my next post!

The other portion of my proceeds will be used for the additional funding of the Community Outreach Program initiated together with my highschool batchmates for tomorrow!

I haven't received my 13th month Pay and salary yet, so technically, there will be more gifts to come! Ayeeee

I wouldn't realize all of these if not because of Steemit and the people who contributed to my earnings.

Words can't express how grateful I am today! So thankyou, thank you everyone!
