The Text I Finally Sent My Family Back Home (After Years of Saying Yes)

As a Filipina living in America, saying no to family asking for financial help is hard. After years of sending money to the Philippines, I finally sent a text setting a boundary.

For years, I felt like I had to say yes whenever family back home needed financial help. Even when money was tight, saying no came with guilt.

Then I received one text message that I couldn't answer right away.

In this video, I share the story behind that message, what was going through my mind, and the text I finally sent back.

This isn't about refusing to help family. I still want to help when I can. But I'm learning that helping family shouldn't mean ignoring your own savings, needs, and future.

If you're a Filipino abroad, OFW, immigrant, breadwinner, or anyone who feels pressure to financially support family, maybe you've experienced this too.
