The singer-actress asked her friends and followers to help pray with her family for the recovery of her mother.

"My family and I are asking all of you to pray for our dear mama, she caught the virus a week ago and needs all the Prayer Warriors of the world to help pray for her."

In the same post, Geneva also expressed her gratitude to her sister Vanessa for watching over their mom.

Geneva also called her sister their hero for courageously facing the deadly virus with their mother.

"I'm grateful to my sis Vannessa for being our hero, personally taking care of mama despite already having a family of her own. We love and appreciate you, peks. Thanks to those who sent their love, help, and support."

In a separate post, Vanessa give more details about the health condition of their mother.

She also mentioned that she was diagnosed with COVID-19 earlier and has already recovered.

Unfortunately, three of members of their household, including their mom, currently have COVID-19.

"Lex and I just recovered recently from #covid19. Now 3 more people in our home are covid positive. Two Asymptomatic and one with symptoms, my Mama, Marilyn Lynne, Bunso. We are 10 people in the household."

Ness continued by describing the condition of their mom, who is having difficulty with her symptoms.

"My Mama is on her 7th day since onset of symptoms kaya mas hirap siya today.

"I know the feeling kasi pinagdaanan ko din yun when I had covid. Nagtaka ako kasi naging worse symptoms ko.

"Apparently, 5th-7th day pala pinaka mahirap kasi peak ng infection but it gets a little better after the 7th day.

"Hopefully, ganon din sa kanya. Kaya lang she has hypertension and borderline diabetes and senior citizen na. So I can imagine it's way harder for her."

She added, "My mama's oxygen saturation is low, hindi siya makakain and vomits when eating and drinking medicine.

"Madami pa naman siyang maintenance meds kaya lang hindi nya mainom kasi nasusuka siya. Thank God though kasi wala na siyang diarrhea since yesterday and she now has oxygen and IV fluids. I've given her IV antibiotics and plasil this evening."

Vanessa then asked her followers for any leads for hospital vacancy for their mother.

"Our doctor has advised that she be hospitalized na. WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A HOSPITAL THAT WOULD ADMIT HER. PAG MAY ALAM PO KAYONG MAY VACANCY PLEASE DO LET US KNOW. πŸ™"

She admitted that what happened in their family has badly affected them, so they want to ask help from the public.

"This has been physically, emotionally and financially draining for everyone in our home. I am asking for prayers for our whole family esp my Mama. We are doing everything we can, but any help would come a long way. πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

"To those who already helped, you know who you are, thank you so much. May God reward you a thousand fold. πŸ™"

Earlier, Geneva went live on Facebook for a fundraising performance for her mother.

She said, β€œRAISING FUNDS for my mom, Marilyn Cruz, who raised me, supported me and has been the best grandma to my children. She needs proper medical attention as soon as possible as she is sick with Covid. Our whole family is doing all we can but any donation from you guys would go a long way.”
