The story

Being that I am living with the virus I feel very happy that I am healthy because they take great care of me here at the nursing home. At times I become angry being in this situation yet I must survive and with faith I face each day. I thank each and every staff member at the nursing home for their patience and attentiveness in taking care of me. Hispanic - New York City
