Isang masayahing asawa at ina si Helena sa kanyang limang anak nang maganap ang isang trahedya sa kanilang pamilya sa Negros Occidental. Wala siyang nagawa kundi iwan ang kanyang pamilya upang masuportahan ang pag-aaral ng kanyang mga anak. Nagtrabaho siya bilang isang katulong para sa isang pamilyang Arabyano sa Jeddah. Ginawa niya ang lahat ng kanyang makakaya upang tiisin ang mga pagsubok doon na puno ng determinasyon at pananabik sa kanyang puso.

Naging mahalaga ang komunikasyon para sa mag-ina, ngunit bigla itong nawala sa hindi malamang dahilan.
