Support the Medhin HIV Elders Association in Ethiopia

Donation protected





Dear Friends and Supporters,

My name is Joshua Abebe, and I’m reaching out to you from Houston, TX, USA. Recently, I had the profound experience of visiting Ethiopia, where I became closely connected with the Medhin HIV Positive Elders Ethiopian Residence Association in Hawassa. This organization serves as the sole provider for elderly individuals living with HIV/AIDS, many of whom are bedridden and have been abandoned by their families.

During my visit, I personally funded a food essentials drive to support these vulnerable elders. The experience left a lasting impact on me, and I knew I couldn’t stop there. I am now committed to helping them secure the international donors they desperately need to continue their vital work.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign will go directly to the Medhin HIV Positive Elders Ethiopian Residence Association. I will personally oversee the transfer of the funds to the association’s management team in Hawassa to ensure that every dollar is used effectively and efficiently.

Here’s how your contributions will be spent:

  • Food Supplies: Ensuring that all residents receive consistent and nutritious meals.
  • Medical Supplies: Purchasing essential medications and medical care equipment for bedridden elders.
  • Caregiver Support: Funding the wages of caregivers who provide daily assistance to the elders.
  • Emergency Needs: Addressing any unforeseen needs that arise, ensuring the ongoing well-being of all residents.
Your donation, no matter the size, will have a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of these elders. Together, we can provide them with the care and dignity they deserve in their final years.

Thank you for your compassion and support. It means the world to me and to the Medhin HIV Positive Elders Ethiopian Residence Association!
