Moheda Group is sensitive to the needs of elderly people's homes
The death toll from the coronavirus in Spain's approximately 5,457 old people's homes exceeds 24,600 people nine months after the outbreak of the pandemic in Spain.
Specifically, it stands at 24,683 people with COVID-19 or similar symptoms, according to data from the autonomous communities. This means that around 49.67% of the deaths officially notified by the Ministry of Health of people with COVID-19 occurred among elderly people living in old people's homes. These centres have undoubtedly been the hardest hit by the health crisis.
As the second wave of the pandemic spreads across Spain, the outbreaks of COVID-19 once again bring these centres to the forefront, as it is one of the areas where the highest number of cases has been reported among the outbreaks reported by the Health Ministry.
Due to this serious situation, Moheda Group has raised awareness of the elderly homes by donating a pallet of drugstore, cleaning and canned food products to several elderly homes in the town of Colmenar Viejo, items that the company manufactures and which it has decided to offer to the parish of Cristo de la Vera Cruz, so that from there it can deliver them to these places.
Working together in times of crisis
The Confraternity of the Holy Christ of the True Cross of Madrid already has a "young group" which is dedicated to charity campaigns and to actively collaborate in solidarity actions. It tries to respond to the needs of society, attending to the most disadvantaged, including the elderly.
This pandemic is causing great pain in the heart of humanity, leaving families torn apart by the damage caused by the disease and the loss of a loved one. Added to this, the economic crisis has left many people without work, causing the family situation to be severely damaged. For this reason, this brotherhood together with the help of Moheda Group has made available to the residences a set of essential goods for these centres. In this way, although the Christmas holidays are atypical, the meaning of these dates cannot be omitted.
Jesús Daza, CEO of Moheda Group, says: "The situation we are living in is very complicated for everyone and the elderly have been one of the most affected by the pandemic, so we are very excited to provide material that somehow improve their daily lives. Christmas is a time of sharing and even more so in this atypical year. Every year we want to take part in social actions for the benefit of those most in need, either by donating our products or by supporting other organisations and vulnerable groups".
