Actress Cherry Pie Picache shared her experience as a survivor of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which she described as a ‘painful and scary battle’.
The veteran actress said she decided to tell her story to dash recovery hopes for other COVID-19 patients.
“I was not sure if I should post, though after reflecting and praying… Maybe it will be of help, send a little ray of hope and inspiration, a way to express my gratefulness and to always simply and honestly share a concrete testimony of God’s gift of faith and to just trust His loving mercy to heal and restore,” Picache said.
The veteran actress thanked those who helped her in the three-week journey and those whom she worked with Dreamscape and ABS-CBN.
“I will forever be thankful, grateful, and I am blessed to have all your love, support, and help in one of my yet again, tough, painful and scariest 3-week battle. Kahit po naging matigas ang ulo ko dahil ayaw pahospital,” she said.
She also thanked her son for taking care of her.
“Anak, I am a blessed mother for having such a patient, loving, kind son. Thank you for taking good care of me,” she said.
