Gazini Ganados, groups launch drive to help protect seniors vs COVID-19
Let's help keep lolo & lola safe from #COVID19!
This was the appeal of reigning Miss Universe Philippines Gazini Ganados and other non-government organizations after they launched a fund-raising campaign that would help protect the grandparents and seniors against the dreaded COVID-19.
Ganados, whose advocacy as beauty queen focuses on care for the elderly, launched the project on Instagram.
"Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) confirmed cases in the Philippines have drastically increased in the last 2 weeks. Alarmingly, 70 percent of the reported deaths are senior citizens (60 years old and above). This means that older persons are becoming more susceptible to this virus and puts them in danger;
"With this, Coalition of Services of the Elderly, Inc. (COSE) & Project Duyan for Sustainable Geriatric Health & Wellness would like to ask for your financial & in-kind assistance to help provide personal protective equipment, health & hygiene materials, and ready to eat food for our lolos & lolas," Ganados said.
