In New York, one man has lost the love of his life, and two adorable twin boys were left without a mother because of COVID-19. Now, the family is looking to raise money for the little boys.

The New York Post reported that 34-year-old Prea Nankieshore is one of the latest victims of the coronavirus in New York. She was an emergency room clerk working at Long Island Jewish Forest Hills hospital.

Nankieshore's sister Lisa Singh spoke to the Post about the tragedy, noting that Prea loved her job, her patients, and her co-workers. "Nankieshore was on the front lines. She was the first point of contact," Singh said.

Devoted ER worker passes away

The late ER worker lived with her parents in Ozone Park. She got ill last week, succumbing to the virus merely days later despite not having a known underlying condition.

Nankieshore's fiancé, Marcus Khan, reportedly told WABC, "We lost a dedicated mother with a heart of gold." The late healthcare worker left behind eight-year-old twin boys.

According to Khan, Nankieshore did not want to leave the hospital understaffed with the COVID-19 crisis going on. She insisted on going to work and doing her part to help.

Nankieshore began working at Northwell Health in 2012 as a customer service representative. In 2013, the hospital transferred her to the emergency room.

Her parents now in danger

Unfortunately, Nankieshore's 66-year-old mother, as well as her father, also has the virus. The mom is in the intensive care unit while the dad is battling COVID-19 at home.

Mary Curran, the chief nursing officer at the hospital, said that Nankieshore was "among the brave team members dedicated to our community and patients during this challenging time."

The woman's friends have set up a GoFundMe page to get financial assistance for Nankieshore's sons. As of Friday, it surpassed the goal of $30,000.
