Being rejected by the community

Me as a member of namatsi self Help group. i am HIV/AIDS  positive together with my spouse. The community rejected us because of our state. In life we have been going through trial moment which I saw ourselves no more. We have a neighbour who has been very close in that he came in at the right time when we needed him most. He is the one who has been educating us and even giving us hope in life. Him and the group wook the responsibility to take care of us by giving us support in different ways. They made us know the ARVs, took care of us in terms of care thus home based care, food and even Financially and now we are strong and better to do our work. We have a small business that support us through Namatsi giving us a loan.
