"Let’s appreciate her efforts and thoughtfulness for others. This shows she’s capable of doing even more. Many people abroad have left their families behind in search of better opportunities. Even though the world is more advanced and some items are easier to access locally, the stress of duties and customs can be avoided, but buying them here can still be quite expensive."
