Dear kind person.

I hope this message finds you well. As a parent, I would do anything to protect my child from harm and to provide them with the best possible life. However, I find myself in a situation where I am struggling financially to give my child, who has HIV, the care and support they need. 

My child was diagnosed with HIV when they were just three years old. It was devastating news for me as a parent, and it changed our lives forever. From that day on, our relationship has become closer than ever before. I have never felt such a strong sense of responsibility towards another human being as I do towards my child. I would move mountains for them if I could. Over the years, my child has faced many challenges due to their condition. They have suffered from frequent infections, had to undergo multiple surgeries and require constant medical attention. Watching my child suffer like this has been heart-breaking, but I have always done everything in my power to provide them with the best possible care. Unfortunately, the cost of medical care is expensive, and it takes a toll on our finances. Each year, we spend a significant amount of money on medications, doctor appointments, hospital stays, and other expenses related to my child's health. Despite my best efforts to keep up, I find myself struggling financially to manage these costs. 

The situation has become even more challenging during these unprecedented times caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many businesses have closed down, and many people have lost their jobs, including me. As a result, I am finding it even more challenging to provide for my child's needs. This has affected my ability to afford proper nutrition for my child, and they are not getting the necessary vitamins for their immunity. As a parent, not being able to provide for my child is devastating. It breaks my heart to know that my child is suffering, and I am not doing everything in my power to make it better for them. I want to be able to give my child a better life, where they do not have to worry about their health or our financial situation. I want them to focus on their studies, have lots of fun with their friends, and enjoy their childhood without any limitations. 

This is why I need help. I am writing to you to humbly request financial support to help me take care of my child. Every little help will go a long way in ensuring that my child gets the care and support they need to lead a healthy life. Your help will enable me to pay for my child's medication, nutritional needs, and other expenses related to their health. It will also help me settle some of our outstanding medical bills, which are overwhelming.

Please note that any contributions will be received with deep gratitude and will go towards supporting my child's health and well-being. While I understand that times are tough for everyone, even the smallest contribution will mean the world to my child and me. In conclusion, I want to thank you for taking the time to read my story. As a parent, my heart is heavy and full of worry for my child. I am humbled to ask for help, knowing that this is what I need most right now. So, I implore you to donate whatever you can, and I assure you that it will be put to good use. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
