Jeremy Damaris, a concerned advocate for parents who work tirelessly abroad to provide for their children back home in Kenya, has strongly condemned the actions of some children who misuse the resources sent by their hardworking parents. In his heartfelt remarks, he highlighted the struggles and sacrifices that many parents go through while working overseas in order to give their children a better life. Unfortunately, some children fail to understand the hardships their parents endure and, instead of appreciating their efforts, they engage in reckless behaviours like excessive alcohol consumption and irresponsibly squandering the money sent by their parents.

Jeremy pointed out that many of these parents are nearing retirement age and are more than willing to return to Kenya. However, the thought of their children not living a responsible or prosperous life often causes them to reconsider. With heavy hearts, some elderly parents choose to remain abroad for longer than they initially planned, hoping that the financial support they continue to provide will lead to better outcomes for their children. Yet, this hope is often dashed when they realize that their efforts are being undermined by irresponsible actions back home.

In his plea to Kenyans with parents working abroad, Jeremy urged the younger generation to reflect on the sacrifices made by their elderly parents. He emphasized the need for responsible use of the financial resources sent from abroad, encouraging children to invest in creating better environments and ensuring their well-being instead of squandering what could be life-changing support. Jeremy called for greater empathy and responsibility, advising that those whose parents are working overseas should support them through prayer, respect, and gratitude.

The key message in Jeremy’s plea is the reminder that these parents, despite their age and weariness, continue to work hard with the sole purpose of providing a brighter future for their children. It is crucial that children acknowledge and value these sacrifices by using the resources wisely and fostering a culture of responsibility at home.
