grieving an unexpected death<\/a>.<\/p>\nDavid had just met Sheila\u2019s mother, father, and 12-year-old son. Hours later, her mother passed away.<\/p>\n
It was a tragic and perhaps inevitable <\/em>fall in a house that was barely holding together and clearly unfit for human habitation.<\/p>\nSheila doesn\u2019t want to go back home until it\u2019s fixed up. <\/p>\n<\/noscript>In this promo ahead of Season 6, Episode 11 of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days, Sheila discusses what is left of her family home. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis sneak peek (you can see the full video below) of the Sunday, August 13 episode, Sheila and David have stopped for a casual drink.<\/p>\n
Their translator is there with them, as she speaks Tagalog and is also fluent in ASL (American Sign Language).<\/p>\n
Sheila is discussing the repairs that her family home (which her father built by hand). <\/p>\nDavid warns that fixing up Sheila\u2019s house is going to be expensive. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt\u2019s going to be expensive to make it into a less lethal residence, let alone truly livable<\/em>.<\/p>\nDavid emphasizes this. We already saw her neighborhood and heard David\u2019s description of the smell from the open sewage.<\/p>\n
Even though the house is in what looks like a shantytown, it could be safer. Having steps up to code (literally any code) would help. And so would having a roof that isn\u2019t shower curtains.<\/p>\nAs much as he might like to, David cannot cover repairs on Sheila\u2019s family home. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nObviously, David would like to help. But there is only so much that he can do.<\/p>\n
He warns Sheila that he \u201ccan\u2019t pay for all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The project would be essentially building an entire house. Ideally involving plumbing and more amenities that it does not have at present.<\/p>\nDavid knows that there are some cultural and economic differences at play, but explains that working two jobs doesn\u2019t make him rich. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThere are definitely some things that don\u2019t translate well between radically different cultures. Economics can be one of them.<\/p>\n
David works two jobs, but while that means that he has a steady income, it doesn\u2019t mean that he\u2019s wealthy. (Generally, two jobs means that neither earns enough on its own)<\/p>\n
But for Sheila, their disparate circumstances don\u2019t always translate. The power of the American dollar can look great until you see a pizza delivery receipt for $30 and a rent bill of $1000.<\/p>\nSheila admits that she feels embarrassed to ask for David\u2019s help, for anyone\u2019s help. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSpeaking to the translator more than to David, Sheila admits how she is feeling.<\/p>\n
She feels embarrassed to ask David at all.<\/p>\n
Sheila and David really like each other. No one likes the humbling feeling of asking a loved one for financial help.<\/p>\nSheila explains to the translator that she has been unable to work, which is in part why David\u2019s help has been so essential. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut she, and David, both know that Sheila cannot do this herself.<\/p>\n
She does not have a job right now. And not for lack of trying.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, David has two jobs. He doesn\u2019t have much, but in comparison, he at least has his own income.<\/p>\nSpeaking to the confessional camera during this sneak peek of August 13th\u2019s episode, Sheila explains how difficult it is for her to find work in the Philippines right now. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSheila was gainfully employed before the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n
But this deadly virus killed a lot of people, disabled countless more, and shook up how a lot of businesses operate.<\/p>\n
Right now, she has been unable to find work. <\/p>\nIt is okay if David cannot afford to fix up her family home, Sheila emphasizes in this sneak peek. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDavid hopes that, by supporting her, he can keep her afloat until she can find work.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Sheila wants to make one thing absolutely clear.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he can\u2019t afford the expenses, it\u2019s okay,\u201d she affirms.<\/p>\n\n\n
