This season on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days, viewers got a close look at Sheila Mangubat’s living conditions in an impoverished area of the Philippines.
Sheila and her American love interest, David Dangerfield, joined the cast this season of Before the 90 Days and instantly captured viewers’ hearts.
Both David and Sheila are deaf, and their hearing impairments led to their international love story.
As soon as 42-year-old David arrived in the Philippines to meet 31-year-old Sheila in person for the first time, the couple was hit with some devastating blows.
David learned just how dilapidated Sheila’s family home was, and Sheila’s mom passed away the morning after being introduced to David.
Once the dust settled from Sheila’s mom’s funeral, she and David hired a contractor to give them an estimate to repair the damage to her dilapidated home.

While many viewers felt the contractor’s $1,700 estimate was a fair price for the amount of work that needed to be done, David has voiced that it’s a bit too expensive for him.
Taking to Instagram this week, David shared a post including a black-and-white photo of himself and Sheila along with a caption explaining that he’s been inundated with questions about funding Sheila’s home repairs.
“Hello fans people,” David began his caption. “I know that lots people ask me about gofindme.and sorry I can’t do that because I can’t afford pay tax or irs . And can’t send money to house for sale .”
“Yes I still send to money support Sheila and Sheila family too,” the Nebraska resident continued. “And please wait see on tv show of end episode or season thank you .”
