An OFW who had been abandoned unconscious on the road after suffering a memory loss due to a complication from diabetes in December of 2014 is finally homebound to be with her family in the Philippines. Milagros Chenilla, 63, while on the way to a job interview with some friends has suffered temporary memory loss and fainted, when she woke up, she does not know anything about herself.
She was working as a teacher in Abu Dhabi for 6 years. After she lost her job, Chenilla stayed there for almost a year as an undocumented worker.
A good samaritan fellow OFW Ray Angulo, a volunteer social worker who had helped Chenilla from day one, said her friends left her unconscious on a street in Al Ghusais probably because of fear taht they would get caught by the authorities as they were also illegal residents. Through facebook search and with some friends, Ray helped Chenilla establish her identity while she was being taken care of at the Rashid Hospital.
According to Angulo,“For several days, Chenilla was a ‘Jane Doe’ in the hospital; she was unknown. She had an episode and fell unconscious. She had no one visiting her, no friends, no one.”
Luckily after four days, they were able to trace who she really is.
Angulo helped Chenilla in everything including the arrangements for her repatriation, though the Philippine Embassy and the consulate say they aided the repatriation.
Chenilla needs to undergo one last operation when she arrived in the Philippines to remove her uterine fibroids. She said she will be taken care by her other daughter.
Though she has been abandoned by her friends and a sibling who is also in Abu Dhabi, she said she found a family with the company of Angulo and for that she will be forever grateful.
“I have all but gratitude in my heart right now. I’m finally going home. The feeling is indescribable.”
Meanwhile, a home of an OFW in Sitio Abuno, Barangay Pajac, Lapu-Lapu City was robbed.
