Imelda is from Samboan, she has 8 children. She worked full time very hard for a few years making Beach Bags. She became a widow in 2018, she was only 45 years old.
Her husband passed away from a sudden heart attack. She is now making bags part time as having to teach her younger children at home is a big challenge and time consuming.
