To everyone of a kind heart

A good day to everyone who reads this blog.

You may call me Nko Ambemur and I am from the Philippines. I made this blog as an appeal to those of us kind-hearted people who have a little bit of money to spare.

Let me start of by telling my story.

A few years ago, my wife left me and my son. She said she wasn’t satisfied by the life she was living with me. She had several affairs before finally meeting someone who was able to facilitate her trip to the States. In 2005, a US family court granted her request for divorce.

I have been a good father to my son. I try my best to make sure his needs are met. I work at three jobs at the moment: I have a fulltime teaching job in one school, I also work part-time in one other school, and during my free time, I do transcription work. On the average, I get to sleep 4 to 5 hours everyday, inclusive of weekends.

What I plan to do is to file for annulment in the local courts that will allow me full legal custody of my son. The American family court granted both of us legal rights to the child. I want to fight for full legal custody. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean to disallow my ex-wife to have a relationship with my son. On the contrary, I have always prodded my son to always remember his mom and to pray for her always, that she be well. I have not told my son anything bad about his mom.

It’s just that I want to have full legal custody of my son to make sure that he is brought up with the proper values that my family once taught me. I’m afraid my ex-wife’s family values are not the same as mine’s. You see, hers is a family of overseas workers. So in a sense they’re well-off. And that really is the problem. They tend to look down on others. It’s only in the Philippines that they are well-off, considering the foreign exchange rate. Because they have a lot of money to spend, they dispense it and splurge like there is no tomorrow. And they want all people to fawn on them like they were royalty.

This is precisely the kind of values I don’t want my son to have. I want my son to have good values in life: the values of honesty, hard work, respect of others.

And so therefore, my plea: to those who believe in my situation, I ask for your help. An annulment case costs a minimum of one hundred-fifty thousand pesos in the Philippines. The higher priced law firms expect around four hundred to five hundred thousand pesos as payment. If you believe that my cause is just, please do donate something. I will accept any amount.

You may course your donations to my paypal account. Just click on the “Make a donation” button on the left side of this page.

May I suggest that if you do send a donation that you send me an email. I will make sure that me and my son offer a prayer for you and your loved ones.

Thank you for reading this message of mine.
