A 79-year-old Nigerian woman breaks down in tears as she shares her heartbreaking story of being brought to the U.S. with the promise of a better future, only to be exploited as a nanny for seven months without receiving any payment.
The story was revealed in a post on the popular social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by user @dammiedammie35.
The post included a photo of the elderly woman and a recount of her painful experience.
She explained that she had worked as a nanny for seven months, caring for three children, while the man she worked for left the house at 5 a.m. and returned at 10 p.m. every day.
Despite her hard work, she was never paid a single penny.
In her own words: “He was using me and making me suffer. I took care of his three children while he left at 5 a.m. and returned at 10 p.m.”
“He owes me seven months’ salary at $850 per month. He told me that starting from June, if there were no complaints about me, he would increase my pay to $1,100. But today, he sent me away without giving me anything.”
The post quickly gained attention, with many concerned individuals flooding the comment section to express their outrage and support for the elderly woman.
