OneWorld Strong – Facing a Global Pandemic
“Please continue to pray for people with Covid-19, especially for the essential workers in food, production and service industries. As you know, I am one of the OneWorld Community Health Center providers working with individuals when they are sick with Covid-19. Most patients that I talk to are living in multi-family/generation homes with only one bathroom, so there is no way to effectively isolate. Entire families are getting sick, but only a fraction of them are being tested. The news is gravely under reporting the problem. These people are running out of food and have no savings. They don’t even have thermometers to check for fevers. They can’t pay rent and are afraid that they will be evicted. Many feel that they have no option but to go to work sick. We are doing our best to help, working long hours 7 days a week, with a network of social workers, our compassionate bilingual medical team and donated supplies. We call families every 1-3 days, depending on the severity of the disease, and do daily oxygen saturation checks on the high-risk. Even then, some patients have died, in their homes, with their children and wives left mourning those who died too young.”
