Positive for COVID-19, out of work.

Hello! My family and I have recently tested positive for COVID-19. We are all essential workers that have been working full time throughout this pandemic. My mother is the one that got the virus first. There is speculation that someone in her boyfriends place of work had the virus and he failed to let her know in time. Her case is severe and spent 4 nights in the hospital. She was discharged after a nurse took her temperature of 110 degrees and she did not understand why they were sending her home because of the language barrier. She was sent home without them knowing If there was someone available at home to care for her. After my mother came back home, my brother was rushed to the hospital as well, testing positive for COVID-19 & Pneumonia just like my mother. He has been there ever since. My sister tested positive, thankfully she has no symptoms. We worried for her because she is 7 months pregnant and we feared that this would effect her health. Finally, I’ve also tested positive for COVID-19. Thankfully, my job is paying me for the 2-3 weeks that I’ll be gone but it is not enough for my household of 7 people. Both of my brothers and mother are out of work with no paid-time-off and this fundraiser would really help us all for the next 2-3 weeks. 


Whether it’s .25¢ - $1 - $5 we truly
appreciate anything. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and please stay safe! If you plan to go outside or are an essential worker, wear your mask, stay 6ft away from people, and wash you hands!!! Thank you, again. 

¡Hola! Mi familia y yo recientemente hemos dado positivo por COVID-19. Todos somos trabajadores esenciales que hemos estado trabajando a tiempo completo durante esta pandemia. Mi madre es la que primero contrajo el virus. Se especula que alguien en el lugar de trabajo de su novio tenía el virus y él no se lo hizo saber a tiempo. Su caso es grave y pasó 4 noches en el hospital. Fue dada de alta después de que una enfermera le tomó la temperatura de 110 grados y no entendía por qué la enviaban a casa debido a la barrera del idioma. Fue enviada a casa sin que ellos supieran si había alguien disponible en casa para cuidarla. Después de que mi madre regresó a casa, mi hermano fue llevado al hospital también, dando positivo para COVID-19 & amp; Neumonía como mi madre. Él ha estado allí desde entonces. Mi hermana dio positivo, afortunadamente no tiene síntomas. Nos preocupamos por ella porque tiene 7 meses de embarazo y temíamos que esto afectara su salud. Finalmente, también he dado positivo por COVID-19. Afortunadamente, mi trabajo me paga por las 2-3 semanas que me iré, pero no es suficiente para mi hogar de 7 personas. Mis hermanos y mi madre están sin trabajo sin tiempo libre remunerado y esta recaudación de fondos realmente nos ayudaría a todos durante las próximas 2-3 semanas.


Ya sea .25 ¢ - $ 1 - $ 5, realmente
apreciamos cualquier cosa. ¡Gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón y por favor manténgase a salvo! ¡Si planea salir o es un trabajador esencial, use su máscara, aléjese de 6 pies de distancia de las personas y lávese las manos! Gracias de nuevo.
