An
HIV-positive woman yesterday dumped and abandoned her newborn baby at GRA Benin
city, Edo state.
Thankfully,
before any harm could come to the child, who doctors have confirmed to be HIV
positive also, he was saved by kind-hearted Nigerians.
Sharing
photos on Facebook, one of the rescuers Cecilia James announced they have
launched a search for the baby's mother. Because they believe she needs to be
found to avoid spread of the virus and because they believe she needs support
to start a business and take care of her child.

Just
finished doing omugwu for our new baby (an interesting experience) wish we
could find the mother of this child and support her with funds to start a
business and take care of her child.
Doctors just
confirmed the Child is HIV positive (the more reason the mother should be found
to avoid spread, HIV is no longer a death sentence ) pls if you know someone
who knows someone who knows someone who had a baby yesterday in Benin and
didn't come home with the child, pls tell her to come and carry her child and
some money to start her life again..
Abandoning
the child is not the best option for both of them. Pls help share and let's
find her.
I'm sure she
will be better off than going back into the streets.
