Voice of Domestic Workers Edition By Katy

There are moments in life when you pause, look back, and realize just how far you have come, not just in distance, but in faith, courage, and resilience. Today, I write from a place of deep gratitude, humility, and quiet joy. There are two people I especially want to thank, because without them, this journey would have felt heavier and lonelier. The first is the person who brought me to the charity, The Voice. That single act of guidance opened a door I never imagined would change my life so deeply. The second is the person who stood beside me and gave me strength, courage, and peace of mind during moments when doubt tried to take over.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank our CEO, Mrs. Marissa Begonia. Your support did not just help me professionally it restored my belief in myself. Without your guidance, encouragement, and trust, I would not have found the confidence to stand strong in my work. You believed in me even when I was still learning to believe in myself, and that made all the difference.

Above all, I lift everything to our Almighty God, Jesus Christ. He is the one who continuously lightens my thoughts and calms my heart, especially on days when the weight feels too heavy. Through prayer and worship songs, I find strength to keep going. In moments of exhaustion and uncertainty, He reminds me that I am never alone and that every struggle has a purpose.

My greatest inspiration has always been my family. They are the reason I wake up every day and choose to keep fighting. My younger sister, in particular, has been a constant source of strength. Their love, encouragement, and unwavering support give me the courage to face every challenge, no matter how difficult. In every season, good or bad—they stand by me, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

Today, I am proud and deeply happy to say that I have finally received my Leave to Remain and my passport. This moment did not come easily. It came after long years of waiting, uncertainty, and prayer. But at last, success has arrived. All glory belongs to God. After such a long journey, victory has finally met perseverance.

Through all the hardship, sacrifice, and patience, my family and I have reached a point where we can finally say, “This is it.” The struggles were real, the tears were many, but so was the faith that carried us through.

Thank you, Jesus, for every blessing seen and unseen. Thank you for giving my body strength when I felt weak, and for making my spirit strong enough to endure. Because of Your grace, I can now work toward giving my family something we have long dreamed of: a home of our own, a place we can truly call ours.

Thank you, Lord. At last, I can see the reward of all the hard work, all the waiting, and all the prayers answered. And with a grateful heart, I move forward, stronger, hopeful, and full of faith for what lies ahead.
