Situation

Analysis
John and his three siblings became orphans since he was 14 years old.
Since then, his grandmother looked after at them. Unfortunately, her
grandmother died two years ago.

He is the eldest and now a graduating senior high school student. He has
a five-year old sibling, the youngest, whom he brings to the Daycare
Center every day before he goes to school, and another sister with
Down Syndrome whom he makes sure to securely leave at home.

His dream is to finish his studies in college for he knows that it is the
only way that will change their lives. Sometimes, he chooses to skip
school, because he needs to work. The distance from their house to his
workplace is relatively far, but he still chooses to walk to and from work.
There are times that he grabs different opportunities like TESDA
scholarship to have an additional skill. He also works at the school
canteen after his classes. In addition, he gets extra work in the farm.

With the help of his second sibling who does not go to school, he tries to
provide for their family's needs every day. Neighbors and other people
sometimes give help to them. Finishing his high school is tough. Trying
to endure it until college is even tougher. He is eager to pursue it,
though.

Unfortunately, now that we have a health crisis because of COVID 19

pandemic, the once hard life that they have has become even much
harder for them.
