When You Really Need a Ride

AIDS patients in Zimbabwe get a lift in many ways.

 

Michael Mhere was already sick when Sister Fran Kobets offered to drive him to the hospital in her pickup truck. The AIDS virus was ravaging his body. At 19, Michael even lost his ability to walk. Sister Fran was his only hope. 

 

The outlook for AIDS patients is grim in Zimbabwe, where a lack of services and acceptance is making it hard for people to beat the virus. There are many others who need our care. Your donations are really appreciated. 

 

Before falling victim to AIDS, Michael was doing his best. He was going to school and had finished two years of his post-secondary studies with very good results. He was even helping to cover the costs of caring for his cousins, who also are infected with the disease.

For our Maryknoll Sisters working in the poorest regions around the globe, signs of wonder are visible every day of the year. From the darkness of poverty and injustice, we see men and women emerge stronger, independent, and full of faith in themselves and in God.
