4th Impact pleads for help to get COVID-positive mom a slot in the ER

The girls of 4th Impact broke their Instagram aesthetic yesterday to ask for help for their mother, Erlinda Cercado, who is currently battling COVID-19.

Sisters Almira, Irene, Mylene and Celina were worried sick for their mom who, just like many Filipino COVID-19 patients, had a hard time finding a hospital that could accommodate her because there were no available slots.

Part of their post read: “We need your prayers for the healing of our mom..She's covid positive patient and now fighting for her life ..”

They also described the desperate situation that many have to go through in the midst of the pandemic, as medical facilities are overwhelmed with the number of COVID-19 patients that they have to treat.

“No hospitals are available to accommodate her not unless if you know a Doctor We are asking for urgent help ..now she's in a tent with other covid patients bcoz no available room can be given to her my heart is broken for the lack of our country's medical facility.THIS IS URGENT..Patients are battling for their Lives but all the Emergency rooms dont have space anymore..”

The girls of 4th Impact even asked for President Rodrigo Duterte's help.

“We are asking help from our President Rodrigo Duterte ..This is our mom who fights for us and stand for us just to give honor to our country and now no one else is giving her helping hand️ Lord pls give us MirAcle ️ All we need is a decent room and a doctor to see if she is well.“

Celebrities and personalities showed their support for the siblings by leaving a comment on the IG post, such as Kris Lawrence, Janelle Jamer, Jake Galvez and Renz Pangilinan.

Later in the evening, the girls posted an update on IG, saying that their mom has finally been accommodated by a hospital.

The post reads: “Thank u Lord now my mom is in ER with decent bed and enough nurses looking for her..Thank u Mommy Lhiz Lets continue to pray for recovery..Pls shower us with your mercy Lord.. Salamat po sa mga nagdadasal sa mama ko..Maraming salamat sa mga nagreachout at ngtawag ng hospitals..Lets all be safe #therecanbemiracleswhenyoubelieve”
