A Letter from a COVID-19 survivor

Dear Company,

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy.

I am writing today to thank you all for the support and prayers that you have extended to me and my wife during our confinement in the hospital. We were hospitalized on 2nd week of August 2020, due to Covid-19 with moderate to severe bilateral pneumonia.We started experiencing symptoms on and immediately isolated ourselves despite not having any known exposure to Covid. When we felt like our symptoms were getting worse and started having difficulty in breathing, we decided to seek professional help. During our 17 days stay in the hospital, there were a lot of ups and downs where we found ourselves in an incomparable position. Our doctors were closely monitoring our vital organs for possible organ failure. We were on and off of oxygen and I had to be put on Remdesivir where nights were difficult and my body felt like giving up. But through your messages of encouragement and prayers, our battle have made all the difference.

To My Boss who has been there since day 1 of our hospitalization, for assisting our travel to and from the hospital, your daily messages, and thoughts of healing, please accept my sincerest gratitude. I can only imagine how much harder it would be for us without your help. A positive mental attitude helped me during those difficult days.To the Human Resources who assisted me in Health insurance and other Heath Benefits.An additional boredom to me thinking of an outcome of our hospital bills,but we didn`t pay any single centavo because of you,thank you.To those who called me, my closed colleagues and relatives, thank you for checking on me.To many others who texted me,thank you. And to those who sent us their prayers through social media which contributed a lot to our speedy recovery, thank you very much. All we could do during our darkest times was call on God. God himself came and gave us the divine intervention. He embraced us with love, grace, and mercy, and comforted our hearts.

As this virus plagued our country, let our experience be a reminder to protect ourselves and our families when we can. It is not worth the regret. Everyone is different and just because you don’t have any symptoms, does not mean you don’t have it. Be cautious of the people around you because you never know how badly someone can get affected by it.

Me and my wife by the grace of God were declared Covid free. We are back in our home and our health have been stabilizing slowly but surely. We could always use prayers of healing and endurance.Thank you so much for understanding.

Your compassion and understanding allowed us to focus on our health.


Yours truly,

COVID-19 Survivor
