We have a new little girl. She is 3 years old. She can’t walk yet and is oxygen dependent because she has chronic lung disease. She has to have physio 3 times a day to keep her lungs clear. Her parents did not give her TB and HIV drugs properly which has made them ineffective – this has happened twice. This means they have had to change her medication twice. The danger of this is that there are only a few HIV and TB drugs for children so, every time they have to change the drugs, there is one less chance at life because one day there will be no more drugs for her to take.

Our 4 homes are full we can’t take anymore children. Almost every day we get phone calls from the social workers asking if we could take in more children. The need is so big and sometimes overwhelming. That’s why we are praying that, by the end of this year, our Hospice will be up and running so that we can take in more sick children. Please pray with us that we are able to source the necessary funds.



This little boy is HIV negative so he could be put up for adoption. Here is picture of him with his new family!!!
