Marissa*, 31 years old, is one of the guests of the AJ Kalinga Foundation at the De La Salle University Safe Shelter. She fled from her abusive foster parents during her teenage years, and has since been living on the streets. She moved from one employer to another to earn a living, working as a household help. Marissa has also been diagnosed with epilepsy. During this time of enhanced community quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she’s grateful to have a safe shelter to stay in.
