- [Translator] My name is Marta.

I am a Christian.

The first thing I do beforeI leave my house is pray.

- [Reporter] Marta is a28 year old single mom

raising her eight month old daughter.

- [Translator] Seeing mybaby girl makes me so happy.

I ask God to protect us andto protect me everywhere I go.

- [Reporter] For months,

Marta has worked on the front lines

in the battle against the COVID virus

in this regional hospital in El Salvador.

She's part of a 70 member custodial team

that cleans the hospitaland its' ambulance.

- [Translator] My greatestfear is that I will get sick

and also cause my baby to get sick.

I long for the end of my shift

so I can see her.

Holding her and hugging her

gives me the strength for a new work day.

- [Reporter] One of the greatest needs

at this hospital is bleach.

It's used in nearlyevery cleaning solution

because it kills the coronavirus.

They add bleach tobuckets and spray bottles

and every surface thatcan be cleaned with bleach

is disinfected many times a day.

They even add bleach to thesespecial hand washing stations.

- [Translator] Some days Iam fearful of the disease,

but I need to work.

If you are able to help someoneelse, you have to do it,

not expecting anything in return.

And if you do, God willreward you with twice as much.

I have experienced it.

- [Reporter] So Marta andthe staff were grateful

when Operation Blessingarrived with a pickup

loaded with chlorine bleachin five gallon containers.

Operation Blessing in El Salvador

has been manufacturingbleach at its warehouse

and has already deliveredthousands of gallons of bleach

to the Ministry of Health,

to give to hospitalswith the greatest need

in the capital city.

And Marta was grateful

when we gave her some bleach to take home

and some N95 masks for her and the team.

- [Translator] I am sothankful to Operation Blessing

for providing us withthe cleaning supplies

and the mess to fight COVID-19.

I thank God that he movedyour hearts to help us.

Thanks to Operation Blessing,

we are saving lives in this hospital.

Thank you Operation Blessing.
