A mother who is living with HIV has dumped her new born baby at GRA Benin city, Edo state for being HIV positive!
The child was saved by kind-hearted Nigerians… Sharing photos on Facebook, one of the rescuers Cecilia James announced
they have launched a search for the baby’s mother. Because they believe
she needs to be found to avoid spread of the virus and because they
believe she needs support to start a business and take care of her
child.
She wrote:
Just finished doing omugwu for our new baby (an interesting
experience) wish we could find the mother of this child and support her
with funds to start a business and take care of her child.
I’m sure she will be better off than going back into the streets.
Doctors just confirmed the Child is HIV positive (the more reason the
mother should be found to avoid spread, HIV is no longer a death
sentence ) pls if you know someone who knows someone who knows someone
who had a baby yesterday in Benin and didn’t come home with the child,
pls tell her to come and carry her child and some money to start her
life again..
Abandoning the child is not the best option for both of them. Pls help share and let’s find her.
