“We are advising the people who are still asking and who have not yet bought their goods, if it’s possible they just give cash assistance because we are really short of cash,” Sr. Maria Socorro Pilar Evidente, administrator of Hospicio de San Jose, said in an interview with CNN Philippines on Tuesday, May 4.
Evidente said they spend over a hundred thousand on medicines for the elderly, special children, and adults every month.
The religious-run shelter was placed on lockdown last week after some of its staff and several elderly contracted COVID-19.
