The long awaited day finally arrives!

Luz and her family and Ramon and his family moved into their new Holmes on Casa Hogar Vida. Both families have suffered greatly in the past and to see them being blessed with a new home each was a very precious moment.

Luz has three boys, Eduardo, David and Ian. Her first husband left her, her second husband committed suicide after finding out he had HIV. He could not cope with the fact that he had given Luz the virus.Luz loved her husband and suffered greatly from not only the loss but from stigma and discrimination. Her own mother did not understand and made her sleep outside there house and would not allows Luz to touch her own son.Luz for the last 17 months lived in a part of a house which we would only put animals in.

Ramon moved into his house the day after, here is his story and some pictures.

Ramon was an alcoholic, and he beat his second wife Sonia and was always in some sort of trouble from the police. He contracted HIV from sleeping with other women. Eventually his daughter became seriously ill and nearly died, this is when Sonia found out Vicky, Bryan and herself had HIV. God came into their lives, unfortunately the couple had separated but the change in Ramon is great.

He is re-married to another lady called Sonia and has a healthy little girl called Dani. he can quote the bible and trys to help others find God.Luz, Sonia (Ramon’s second wife) and Ramon are all leaders of Casa Hogar’s self help groups. They try to bring God, HIV awareness, love and compassion into the lives of others.Thank you to all who have made this possible . May God bless you abundantly.
