Filipina care-giver stayed by elderly patient until the end

Angelyn Peralta Aguirre, a 33-year-old caregiver from the Philippines, was by the side of her 70-year-old patient, Nira last Saturday when Hamas terrorists attacked Kibbutz Kfar Gaza. Aguirre had been Nira’s caregiver for six years. In the face of such horror, Aguirre did not abandon her patient. She took her to a shelter where they both hid.

“Wadiya la ra. Natatakot ak (They are already here. I am afraid),” the 33-year-old caregiver said in one voice message sent to the family chat group. More messages followed but three hours later, she went silent.

“At that moment we were praying for her safety. We did not expect that she would be killed,” her sister Wilma told reporters in an interview from their house on Thursday.

The shelter did not have a lock and the two were killed when the Hamas terrorists fired through the steel door.

Jerusalem’s deputy mayor, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum tweeted her praise of the actions:

Same for an Israeli Arab paramedic who refused to leave the severely wounded.

Hamas killed him, too.

A blessing be their memory.

She was a Christian and did what a Christian should do…and remember, Christians, Islam hates us too.

What a brave woman! God bless her, and prayers for her family and for the family of her patient, too.

Filipinos and Filipinas have had quite their share of this crap too. If one is not familiar with the Battle of Marawi, the size and duration of it is quite remarkable, especially given the seemingly modest Philippines’ air capabilities. Satellite view it and you can see that the considerable portion of city involved is still mostly... vegetation now.

Wikipedia has a good page on it:

God put Filipina care-givers on this planet FOR A REASON, as we see here.

Agreed!

My wife is a Surgical Ward RN. Caregiving is in their DNA.

Every single Hamas member should be found and executed. No prisoners. If they are young and brandishing a weapon, them too. After this operation is over the word Hamas should only be found in historical references.

NICE! Sound like we both have wives that are NOT flaming feminists, so we won’t have to fork out for divorce lawyers.

No greater love hath a man, (of course also a woman) than he lay down his life for another.

She should be nominated for sainthood, in my book.

May the Gates of Heaven open widely for her.

Its not a gurantee. Christian couples have a similar rate of divorce as a group. However many factors can greatly reduce the chances.

Indeed!

My wife is 100% feminine. I treat her like the queen that she is, and she treats me like a king. Great relationship. Traditional roles are the norm in the Philippines. I feel so absolutely blessed. (Wasted 20 years in a horrible marriage to an American spoiled brat trophy wife prior)
