A Filipino domestic worker in Abu Dhabi was able to pay off her 121,000 dirham (nearly US$33,000) debt thanks to her employers’ assistance.
Eight years ago, Madeline Palustre borrowed money from various creditors that amounted to 121,000 Emirati dirhams, but she could not pay it back, The Filipino Times reported. The borrowed money had been intended for a deal that collapsed.
In the following year, Palustre worked multiple jobs – as a cook, a teaching assistant and a saleswoman – to make ends meet, but she still could not settle her debt. She applied to work as a maid and was hired by a couple to look after their three children.
After she was hired, Palustre told her employers about her debt problem, and they decided to help her out. In return, Palustre said, she was able to settle her debt to her employers through deductions from her salary over the years.
Palustre said she would be forever grateful to her employers for their help. “More than the financial assistance, I am more thankful for their moral support during that difficult time of my life,” she said.
Good people still exist in this world..and your lucky if you find an employer which is good at heart and you must be thankful &give your best service to your employer

They deducted money from her salary.. How is tha helping
At least she’s no longer paying the interest of her debt. It’s a big help less stress & pressures.
There are still good employers out there, thanks God!☺

Taal Talahiib she must have borrowed from individuals not from banks that’s why. It is illegal for Islamic banks to charge interest.
