On October 22, 2008, I added 4 new children to my account. They are all children that are either infected with the HIV virus, or have already been diagnosed with AIDS. I decided that I wanted to find sponsors for them. In my group of four children was a girl named Katherine (a different Katherine than the one I currently have), who was almost immediately placed when Alice (already a sponsor) read my post about the 4 children: http://ilovemykids08.blogspot.com/2008/10/stigma-of-hivaids-can-devastate-child.html
If my post inspires you to take action, maybe you will take one or both of my last two children with the virus. The 2 children that I have left are the two girls on the top of that post...
Now, back to my story, Alice took Katherine. Katherine is the girl at the bottom of that same post. Shortly thereafter (10/28/08), Mack (another seasoned sponsor) was looking for a child in Zambia. She took Mercy, and I took on one additional child with HIV... Jonathan!
