I Handed Over Thousands of Dollars To A Stranger on Facebook; This Happened Next

Four days later, a private convoy of relief goods for approximately 1,500 families sailed for Balangiga.

The operation was led by Oel Carisma; he was no longer a stranger. He was a friend.

 

Aside from regaining my faith in people, I have learned the hard way that when all else is lost or could be taken from you, you just take all the love that you can find and hold on to your hope. – Francis Tolibas

  • Great story. What a great man!
    Remarkably, I was in a similar situation, when I saw an injured cat of a person and word by word, not knowing him at all, I found a way to send him money (without being 100% sure that it’s not scam, but something told me it was not). The guy with a kitty was from a city near Cebu. I contacted vets in Cebu and talked to my trusted vet here in Australia to see how we can help the cat (he was shot by an arrow). If you lived in the Philippines, you probably know about pet care side of things.
    Even though we tried the best, unfortunately, we were not able to save the kitty. But I’ve never regretted or questioned the moment I sent the money and started helping (which means finding time, resources, people you did not know before, and quickly learn cat emergency stuff).
    I’m grateful that I initially talked to that person and I’m grateful that his kitty appeared in my life. That kitty inspired me to learn and share things that can save other cats’ lives. I learned about that person’s family and his story. It’s remarkable. I learned about his other cats. It was very touching. He now adopted a new cat and helps a pregnant cat in his city near Cebu.
    I’m so proud of what I’ve done and so glad he continues to love and help cats.
    As I’m all about helping others, it feels SO fulfilling!
    If I’m not here tomorrow, there are at least good things I’ve done that live through time. That’s why I truly admire what that men did for others. Thank You, a caring soul!
