GIRL- SUCCESS STORY

 

She was born in a poor family and she lost her parents due to HIV when she was young. She has four sisters but only she was born with HIV. After the death of her parents she was shifted to her maternal grandparent’s home. They lived in joint family and due to some financial conditions her aunty shifted her to OASIS for people and community , when she was 9 years old.

When her elder sister got independent in Mumbai and she wanted her to be in city with her but her financial conditions were not very strong to take care and provide for her needs as a person with HIV .Thus they were searching for Special children Care Home.

Their search brought them to “DESIRE Society” through one of our outreach workers in the community. She was admitted in Institution Care Home in city. When she was admitted in the institute she was under nourished. She badly required medical attention as she had poor health and her CD4 count was also very low. She was offered proper medication and treatment from Govt Hospital. She was ensured adequate health care and monitoring.

She was also given balanced supplementary nutrition that boosted her immunity level and helped her cope up with ART medicine (Antiretroviral Treatment).

Improvement in her health could be seen within 6 months of her joining. Now her health is improved and she is doing much better than before.

Now she is pursuing Bachelors of Accounting and Finance from private English medium college after graduation she wants to do MBA and aspires to get employed in corporate sector. She is very clear and confident about her goals in life.

Case study of care home boy

This is a 8 years old boy who lost his mother and father in the  year 2017. His mother and father were infected with HIV/AIDS.His parents  had love marriage and shifted to  Hyderabad for  labor work for 2 years. At that point,   parents became sick. From there they had returned to their own village and  both the parents expired due to  HIV/AIDS.

In this situation he started living with his grandfather who was very old person. The village elders were worried and  admitted him in Government shelter . After some days he started suffering with fever and the team took him to hospital  and  medical examinations were done.  They found that boy was also HIV positive. The  team approached CWC . But CWC team response was that they are not taking care of HIV positive children in their district. Also, CWC team enquired with us in this case.DESIRE Society was referred to take care .  After taking the information [on 24.07.2019] District Child protection officer along with child  [with all the CWC legal admission proceeding documents] has joined him at DESIRE Society.        

At the time of admission the child  was crying and not sleeping properly.He was too small to eat himself so care takers started feeding food to him.He was looking thin and did not had capacity to speak. Now ,He is taking ART drug regularly under the monitoring of DESIRE team.  At the time of joining his weight was10kgs and CD4 count- 390 and now child weight has reached to 20kgs and CD4- 700

In the first week of joining ,he was not mingling with other inmates. Now, he is super active boy and like to play few hours daily. Now he is   studying in English medium school [LKG] which is close by to care home.      

. At present his education is going on well and he is living the life of a normal child in the DESIRE Society Care Home . We hope that he will study well  with good health status in future too.

Now, he says that DESIRE Society is my family and he does not seem to miss his parents. The supportive hands from community will enable us to fulfill his dreams when he grows up.

 Success Story

 

It is success  story of one of HIV children enrolled with us .It was a 5year old HIV boy with unfortunate demise of his mother [with dreadful HIV] that DESIRE Society got him admitted in care home.Single parent, the HIV father is alive but unable to feed him properly due to AIDS stage shortening his life span.He has a younger sibling who is HIV negative in turn taken care by family members.Even this boy had a narrow escape with disfigured face burnt marks as their home was set on fire by miscreants to “make them burnt alive”.This happening at home has compelled his father  to hand over “this boy” to us.

At present , it is  remarkable gesture to see him nicely living with other inmates.He is growing physically as well as getting mentally stronger each passing day at care home.The supplementary nutrition kit is provided on daily basis to him. The diet chart is strictly followed in this case of immunity challenged child.

He is attending the private English medium schooling regularly. He is studying in class 7th this year. He is good in studies and want to be a teacher when he grows up in life.

 

The GlobalGiving supporter’s strength will keep fate of these children flourish as and when need arises.

The 8 year old girl [now at DESIRE Society Hyderabad Care Home ]  was at home with her grandmother. After the demise of her parents [ parents died with HIV ] , grandmother has taken up her responsibility. The girl was tested and she turns out to be HIV reactive child. The baby was contracted the disease during her birth.

Grandmother’s poor economic condition caused this girl suffered yet again. Even, grandmother is old so she wanted child to be protected in the safe hands.The health condition of child started deteriorating; thereby it was difficult for grandmother to take care of her. She started looking for helping hand to accommodate the baby.Thus, the outreach worker of DESIRE Society came in contact with the family of this girl.

At the admission time, she was quite weak physically. Our team had designed specific diet chart for her which took few months for her to gain strength and restore health. The ART (antiretroviral treatment) drug adherence is maintained very well within scope of care home, IDA Bollaram. The supplementary nutrition kit[ Pediasure / Zincovit syrup/Calcimax P syrup are main components] is added up to give a balanced diet pattern for such special [HIV] child. 

The health condition of this girl improved under the supervision of team of doctors and paramedical staff.The opportunistic infection of ear infection is under control because of presence of medical-care team. Health gain of this baby has motivated us to sending her to school. Hence, she has started going to private school [ SSVN school close by to care home]. Now our focus is on over all development of child.She is pet of her teachers because of smiley face.

Now she speaks with a confidence and learns very fast from older inmates at care home level.She wants to be a teacher in her life, the baby says. “ DESIRE Society “  stands for fulfilling the dreams of this innocent cute girl.

The continued support from GLOBAL GIVING  over the years has influenced DESIRE Society to serve such children suffering with HIV/AIDS in India .
