Meet Sarida Enoc Lumenda, a 20-year-old online seller from Polomolok, South Cotabato, who captured the hearts of netizens for her indomitable spirit and determination in the face of health challenges.<\/p>\n

Sarida, a person with disabilities (PWD), has become an instant source of inspiration as her story spreads online. Despite being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, UTI, and a Hepatic mass in 2021, Sarida has not allowed her health conditions to dampen her spirit and hinder her dream of opening a business.<\/p>\n

Sarida’s online business, where she sells artificial flowers, gained viral attention as she shared her journey on social media. In a Facebook post, she delivered a powerful message to aspiring entrepreneurs: “Don’t cancel your business because your friends and family don’t support you. The world is full of strangers ready to support and buy from you! Keep going.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Her small online business not only provides her with a platform to showcase her creativity but has also become a significant source of income. The earnings enable her to buy medicine, diapers, and sustain her daily needs. More importantly, the business serves as a lifeline for her family, particularly her mother, who sells at the local market.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Besides flowers, Sarida also sells made to order crochet items, clothes and accessories in her online store, showing her versatility and entrepreneurial spirit. <\/p>\n

Sarida’s story shows that strength can come from within, and she hopes to be a source of inspiration, especially for those dealing with similar struggles.<\/p>\n
