Critical assistance for AIDS baby needed in PV

Dear Friends,
We’ve got a situation and we need some help. A 1-year-old baby, born with HIV infection, needs someone immediately to care for him. Both parents are HIV+, living in extreme poverty at the dump, and cannot care for the baby at this time. The parents have advanced HIV/AIDS, and have now contracted a highly contagious secondary infection that we do not want the baby to get.

The baby was taken by DIF of Puerto Vallarta (Desarollo Integral de la Familia), where they have a shelter for children in crisis. But they claim they have “no space” for him. The do say they can provide help (money) to cover care expenses.

The baby needs a home, and loving care. He will need to be taken for his appointments at the CAPASITS HIV clinic. He will need to be given his medications as prescribed. Considering the condition of the parents, we cannot say for how long care will have to be provided. We hope they will improve and be able to take care of the baby within a month or two, but this is not at all certain.
If you can assist, please contact me at paulcrist@vallartaenfrentasida.com or my cell phone 322-294-1820 as soon as possible.

(I’ve sent an e-mail to Paul asking for a Mexican bank account number for those outside the PV area).
