Vusile was born into a family already devastated by HIV/AIDS. Brothers, sisters, his mother, had all succombed to AIDS. The program you help fund made it possible for Vusile to receive care and treatment for the past six years. Born with severe motor control problems, in 2009, Vusile was found crawling in the mud of his homestead. Unable to speak and unable to lift himself up, he was left to wallow in the mud and dirt. In 2010, a baby's walker was donated and given to Vusile. He could now scoot around and stay out of the mud.
Throughout the years, Kudvumisa Foundatrion through the CHIPS program, has provided the support necessary for Vusile's caregiver to get him to the clinic, get his ARV refills and emergency trips when his helath deteriorated. Also in 2010, a new caregiver joined the homestead. This lady took special care of Vusile, talking to him, working with him to where in a few short years, Vusile was walking and talking all by himself.
The HIV care Vusile receives is not limited to just himself. His father is also a part of the program and receives help and support to receive his ARVs through Kudvumisa Foundation.
You make it possible for wonderful success stories like these. They would not happen without your continued support.
