Your Love & Support Goes A Long Way!

Today I was so inspired after visiting Htu Mai. Last October when I met with her she was pale, gaunt and ready to give up on life. Between sobs she told us that her counselor said she had only 6 months left to live as her HIV was quite advanced. I told her that no one but God could determine how long she stays on this planet and she needed to WANT to live. I passed her RM250 from a generous friend in Hong Kong and told her that someone cared enough about her to want to support her every month for a year! She was immensely touched and grateful. Suddenly she didn't feel so alone anymore. I also gave her some wheatgrass powder to consume daily to alkalize her body.

9 months later Htu Mai is a picture of health with glowing skin and sparkling eyes. She used to cover her body with baggy clothes to hide her rashes but today she looked beautiful in a fitting tank top and pants with her newly dyed hair! She has obviously chosen LIFE and not just that, she now wants to become a spokesperson to encourage other HIV refugees like herself.

Htu Mai's transformation physically and emotionally is so rewarding to see as it shows how the love and support shown by people who care can truly make a difference and literally save someone's life!

Rose's family is also being helped by kind donors. The transformation within the family has been nothing short of a miracle. Last year her father who suddenly fell into a coma, was bedridden and unresponsive. Her mother Cho, was earning RM120 as a part-time cleaner to support her 4 children including the youngest who has polio and is unable to walk. Thanks to the monthly contribution of RM500 Rose's family were able to survive alot easier and have better peace of mind. Her father can now sit up and responds by smiling. I haven't visited them in a few months but I can only imagine he has improved even further.
