Since Post Cura #3 became The House of New Life, we now have a place to call home. Many of us have grown up and are living healthy, independent lives, and come back to visit from time to time. Others of us live with loving foster families, and receive monthly visits from House staff to provide extra care and support for the whole family.
Currently, ten of us with special needs still live at the House of New Life. Thanks to improving in-country conditions, we now have access to anti-retroviral medications to help manage our HIV better. We continue to take in new children from hospitals until we can find them good foster homes for them.
At the House, our staff mamas do an amazing job at loving and encouraging us every day. In spite of mental and physical challenges, we live fairly normal lives. We have daily chores, attend physical therapy, and are tutored by special education teachers. We go on field trips to the beach and mountains, play with neighboring children, and enjoy visits from the local baker, youth groups and students, even the town mayor and Santa Claus.
The House is supported by Chi Rho Corporation, a 501(C)3 nonprofit founded in 1996 by Hudson Staffield. To learn how you can support our work, follow the link below!
