A netizen shared the heart-warming story of two young kids selling sampaguita flowers outside the mall while they were still in their uniforms.
Rei Ann S. Fulgocino, the young girl in the photo, is a grade 8 student while her brother is in grade 6. They caught the attention of the netizen while they were selling sampaguita flowers in front of Trinoma in Quezon City.
The kids shared the reason why they are out selling sampaguita flowers in their uniforms: their mother passed away a long time ago and their father is at home sick so they have no choice but to provide for themselves and their school needs. By selling sampaguita flowers, the two are able to make it through the day. Every day right after their classes, the siblings go outside the mall to peddle their wares.
Rei and her brother came all the way from Marikina in the hopes that they would be able to earn a bit of money to help their financial situation. She even shared how, before they started selling, she was at the top of her class. Sadly, now that they are spending time outside malls rather than studying, she fell down to top 3.
The netizen wanted to inspire millions of Filipinos by telling Rei and her brother’s story and also to call for help to support siblings.
Here’s the post the netizen shared:
