The thoughtful daughter disclosed that their mother had borne the brunt of loss and societal neglect when their father, Jacob Bariti, passed away 20 years ago.
What happened to their dad's inheritance?
His once-admired home, a symbol of his hard work, slowly fell into disrepair as his death came with hardship.
In the video shared by Safari Soul, the TikToker disclosed that the inheritance their father left behind was taken away, simply because his children were girls.
Raised by their widowed mother under a cloud of financial struggle and cultural bias, the sisters swore to repay her resilience.
For years, the family juggled survival with ambition, unable to raise enough to upgrade the crumbling house.
How sisters achieved 20-year dream
During what one sister described as “one of the hardest seasons” of her life, they turned that long-standing promise into reality.
“It took us over 20 years after my father passed on. For so long, we couldn’t afford it, and the weight of that unfinished duty sat with me like a stone,” she shared.
The sisters’ determination was fueled by a desire to restore dignity to their mother and preserve their father’s legacy.
She added that they didn’t come from privilege and had no godfathers or connections, worsened by the fact that they were from a community that didn’t recognise girls as good enough.
Lessons from building
Today, a new structure stands where the old, tired walls once were. For the family, it’s more than a building; it’s a testament to love, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between daughters and their mother.
The sister offered a heartfelt lesson:
“If you’re blessed to provide for your parents, do it. Shower them with love. Give them their flowers while they can still smell them. Build them a decent home. Care for them. No situation is permanent, keep going.”
From the ruins of an old house and years of hardship, these sisters have rebuilt more than a home; they’ve rebuilt hope, dignity, and a father’s legacy.
