Psychiatrist by day, hero by night. Rita Ora's mom is working with coronavirus victims suffering from mental health issues.
spoke with ET's Denny Directo via video chat about how her mother, Vera Sahatçiu, is helping on the front lines in England amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"My mum is a psychiatrist ...so she's actually going to the hospitals every day and helping. For her to be a psychiatrist,on top of everything going on, even if you don't think it relates to helping the flu, it just goes to show how desperate we are for any kind of doctor to come and kind of help," Ora explains."I call her every day and I'm like, 'How is it going? Please try and keep your distance.' I'm really kind of fearful of it all.
The singer says hearing her mother's account of what is going on in the hospitals"has really, really made it a reality" for her."I can only imagine how other families are feeling -- that have wives, or sisters or brothers or whatever going into the hospitals," she shares."My mother is very happy to be able to help. That's just the type of person she is. She's very strong.... She's kind of very in tune with her faith and believes in everything.
