Unemployment in some of Moldavia's rural areas is as high as 80 percent. Anyone who can leave to work usually does.

Mothers and fathers can spend years away from their children - but the money they send home can buy them a much better life. It's a hard choice to make. They live among us and yet they remain invisible. They clean our toilet, make our beds and take care of our parents. We let them into our home, but hardly anyone knows their story.
