Apart from not being able to care for her husband or show some moral support at least, Tootsy revealed they’ve had a more difficult time procuring necessities as “some have refused to deliver essentials to our home.”
She adds, “a neighbour wished to have us out of our neighborhood.”
She understood the reaction, Tootsy said, but she decided to focus her energies thanking the more understanding neighbours who showed them kindness.
According to Tootsy, they ran out of drinking water, a result of the entire household being on quarantine for 14 days. Thankfully, good samaritans came to their aid. “Family and friends sent us drinking water when we ran out, they sent us oxygen too,” Tootsy shared.
“Some sent us fruits, vegetables, medical supplies, cleaning aids, vitamins for our household,” she added.
While Tootsy admits to having moments of weakness — “I break down and cry miss him a lot and don’t know what i can do to help,” she says — she’s found strength in prayer.
“The kids and I have to stay healthy physically and spiritually because at this point, that is all that counts,” she said.
Apart from asking prayers for Sen. Angara’s recovery, Tootsy also thanked everybody, especially the doctors, who have shown patience, kindness, and compassion. “I canot thank you enough. I am forever grateful for all the beautiful and kind souls God blessed us with.”
On Thusday, Sen. Angara announced he tested positive for COVID-19. He became the third senator of the Philippines to test positive for the disease, following Miguel Zubiri and Koko Pimentel.
