Many OFWs face the heartbreaking reality of returning home with little to no savings after years of sacrifice.Every Peso Had a Name is a story that honors the value behind every remittance-each peso representing hard work, sacrifice, and love. It aims to raise awareness, encourage understanding, and remind readers that gratitude should never turn into exploitation.This book is a tribute to OFWs everywhere, recognizing their strength, their pain, and their dreams.
