Boy Sends Charity Shoebox Across The World, 11 Years Later It Comes Back

Missing Her Parents

Although she knows that moving to the Philippines wouldn’t be practical, Joana obviously misses her parents and family.

But since Tyrel has a good job, they can support themselves and even send money to her parents back in Manila too.

From The City To The Country

When People Magazine interviewed Joana about what it felt like suddenly to live in the U.S. she answered, “It was a big change and adjustment for me.

I was raised in the city and now I’m living in the country with much less people and more space, but it’s a beautiful place.”
