'People are desperately hurting and they need to know that somebody care, this will let them know they are not alone.'

Faith leaders in Chicago are hoping to engage the community in praying for those who have suffered from covid-19 and for a healthy holiday season ahead.

A physician for over 40 years, Reverend Horace Smith said he has seen first hand how COVID has affected lives on the South Side. On Saturday, he and other faith leaders will hold a citywide day of prayer, asking their congregation to get vaccines or boosters. Health disparities are proven in the numbers. Data from the Cook County Medical Examiner shows 57% of Black residents are vaccinated, while only 29% have gotten a booster. Compare that to white residents who are 74% vaccinated with 49% boosted.
