In Cartagena, civil guards of the Provincial Maritime Service became aware, through the management of an educational center in the district of Los Barreros, of the peremptory needs of a family whose children were studying at school, two of whom, in addition, they had contracted the Coronavirus. The agents learned that the family was in a situation of extreme need, so they went to a commercial establishment in the municipality to buy food and hygiene products. The civil guards met with the manager of Carrefour who, altruistically, collaborated adding to what the civil guards had already bought, other products to supply the family with food and hygiene effects for two weeks, all of which were transferred by agents to the family home. From social media platforms, both from the school and from the aforementioned mercantile, thank you notes were published to the Civil Guard. In the Cartagena district of Tallante, within the framework of the services aimed at protecting the most vulnerable groups, the Civil Guard contacted the nuns of the Discalced Carmelite Congregation who reside in the Monastery of San José, located in the area.

from Valdelentisco, to know your needs. Eight elderly cloistered nuns reside in the convent, in an area far from the population center. The nuns explained that, being a risk group and in fear of contracting the virus, they had not gone to the bank branch where they receive their monthly allowance, so they lacked the money to meet the daily food and support. After assessing this need, the Civil Guard agreed to facilitate this task by collecting the bank card of the congregation to make the refund of the amount requested at the nearest branch. The agents have attended to the needs of this group, traveling, up to two times since the state of alarm was issued, to the convent to deliver, in the hands of the mother superior, the requested cash.
