My Story
John’s father contracted HIV while John was still very young. After learning that her husband was HIV+, John’s mother abandoned the family for fear of being infected herself. After his father died, John was placed under the care of his elderly grandmother. A widowed peasant farmer, John’s grandmother could barely provide enough food for the four children under her care. Poverty forced John to stop going to school and to work with his grandmother in the family garden instead.
John dreams of becoming a pilot.
John is now under the full care of New Hope. With your help we can continue to provide John with all his nutritional, medical and educational needs and greatly improve his quality of life. John has already found a sponsor. Please select another child to sponsor. Thank you.
