Friends of the Tapiru Family

Our dear friends of the Tapiru family (Luis “Loy”, Josephine “Jo”, Justin, and Luis Jr. “Louie”) who moved from Gatineau, Quebec to Chicago, Illinois have suffered deeply from COVID-19.

On April 4, 2020, Jo was rushed to Saint Francis hospital and has been in an induced coma since then. A few days later, Loy and Louie, who both lived with Jo in Chicago, showed symptoms of and tested positive with the coronavirus. On Good Friday, April 10th, Loy was also rushed to the hospital where he continues his fight against COVID-19 with the help of a ventilator.

This page was set up to unite family and friends in supporting the Tapiru family in this most difficult of times. All proceeds from your generous donations through this campaign will go towards their immediate and future financial needs.

Jo and Loy have both been in the caregiving profession for almost two decades in Canada and the US. It is our ardent hope that when Jo and Loy recover, they will be comforted to know that we cared for Justin and Louie as our very own.

Your continuing prayers for the whole family is much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Friends of the Tapiru family
