Plea for assistance

During the event, a 32-year-old mother of a five-month-old baby, Henry, shared her emotional story with AGTV News. Both mother and child are living with HIV, which the baby contracted at birth due to a lack of timely medical care. Financial constraints have left the mother unable to afford essential tests, scans, or even food.

She appealed to the public for help to secure the necessary medical care for her child, sharing that she and her baby have gone days without food and are surviving on the kindness of others.

Surgery

A 26-year-old mother of triplets also shared her plight. Her three-year-old son, Oswald, has been diagnosed with a hole in his heart and requires urgent surgery. Due to financial challenges, the family has been unable to afford even basic treatment.

She appealed to individuals and organisations to support her son’s medical care, stressing the urgency of the situation.
