He then offered to fix her computer, and the rest is history. They built a life together in Houston, where they raised five children and he worked as a software engineer. David would fight the virus for over a month at Houston’s St. Luke’s in The Woodlands hospital, where he eventually died of heart failure.

About a week after her husband was hospitalized, Michelle and her daughters gathered under his hospital window to pray for him.

How L.A. doctors plan to include more people of color in COVID-19 vaccine trialDoctors at Harbor-UCLA are participating in a COVID-19 vaccine trial, and they're aiming to recruit people of color and members of other high-risk groups.
