Hi,
I tested positive for Covid last August 24. Sadly my mom and lola, both senior citizen were also tested positive. They stayed at home and cleared 14 days quarantine period. However, I was admitted in a hospital in our area since my symptoms were critical and was diagnosed with Moderate Pneumonia. My mom and lola were left at home and tried to survive covid amidst of having commorbidites.
Please help us with any financial aid as we were in debt of 70k worth of expenses (oxygen tanks and refills, swab tests, medications, home care giver)
