The residents of a homeless shelter in Madrid run by Diocesan Caritas have written letters of support to patients hospitalized with coronavirus at six hospitals in the region.
"Life puts us in difficult situations. You just have to stay calm and not lose faith, always after the dark tunnel comes the shining light, and even though it seems that we can't find a way out, there's always a solution. God can do anything," says one of the letters of a shelter resident.
According to Madrid's Diocesan Caritas, the residents empathize with the patients' loneliness and fear and sent words of consolation for these difficult moments that many of them have gone through themselves.
In their letters, the homeless encourage the sick to leave "everything in God's hands," "He will sustain you and help you. Just trust in Him." They also assure them of their support: "I know that all of us together we're going to end this situation and everything is going to get better," "Don't fall back. Stay strong with dignity in the battle."
