Tearful Jaylen told that she will hold on her dream because she wants to save her family from poverty.
“‘Yung mama ko po ang silbing mga paa at mga kamay ko. Kaya minsan gusto ko na sumuko at bumitaw sa mga pangarap ko. Kaya lang nasa isip ko ang pamilya ko at kahirapan namin. Sinasabi ko paano kung bibitaw na ako, kung sa konting dahilan susuko na ako? Sinasabi ko na lang, ‘Jaylen, huwag kang susuko, kaya mo ‘yan eh.’”
Jaylen said that she almost didn't finished her highschool due to financial problem. But because of the determination of her mother she graduated after six long years.
Support poured out after their story was featured in the show "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho" (KMJS). KMJS team had even sent Jaylen for medical check-up and surprised Jaylen with a wheelchair. But the biggest surprise was when Jaylen was granted a full scholarship to finish any college degree she wants with a monthly stpend from the office of the Municipal Mayor.
