Sangeeta was diagnosed with HIV when she was 2 years old. Her father was casual labourer and sole bread winner of the family. His premature death brought misery into the family. Her mother started working as domestic maid but without help and proper medication she died eventually. Sangeeta have 2 more siblings who were tested negative. Her aunt decided to adopt both siblings living Sangeeta all alone, because she is HIV Positive. The medical social worker from Government Hospital knew her condition and came into her rescue. When they approached DESIRE Society, we could only see how, she was neglected from LOVE. It was not her fault to get infected with this dreadful disease. Why should she suffer?
Today Sangeeta is 13 year old and studying in 7th Std. The proper diet and medical care is keeping her active and healthy. The schooling is giving her a chance of better living in future too.
She is happy and feels secure in DESIRE Society. She likes dancing and wants to become nurse. She says with excitement, “Nurse looks cute on their outfit.”
Her dreams will be materialized with help of supportive hands of GLOBAL GIVING contributions. The life will be extended for her as per discipline which is maintained in terms of nutritive food and regular medical care within scope of DESIRE Society care home .
