Maria Fernandes and her four children have been hoping for a miracle ever since Maria's husband Andrew, 48, tested positive for Covid-19 and has been put on ventilator support in a hospital in Miami, Florida, USA.

Andrew, who hails from Mumbai, worked as an assistant security officer on board Costa Favolosa, one of the largest and oldest passenger cruise liners and had boarded the cruise from the Dominican Republic and was on a Caribbean cruise since February.
