PAMAG and RC Uptown Dagupan have found yet another worthy beneficiary of its “Pangkabuhayan Tri-bike” A Livelihood Project for Esmeralda Lajerda, a 41-year-old vegetable vendor residing in barangay Dilan, Pozorrubio. She works really hard buying vegetables to sell and repacking coal to sell as well. But with only a little makeshift trolley to use to bring her wares to the market, she only manages to sell P100-200 ($($3-4)/day which is barely enough to buy rice and other basic necessities let alone their maintenance medications for hypertension. Her husband also works but doesn’t bring in a steady income. They needed a way to bring more goods to the market and sell more everyday.
For some, determination is not enough to overtake hindrances in making a living. However, determination is enough for a good soul to deserve new hope. This gift of a new tri-bike brings to them a new hope and provides them with a better tomorrow.
