Hello listeners! Better late than never, during this week's episode, we had a conversation with Rosalva Patten.

Born and raised in Tijuana Baja California Mexico, Rosalva Martha-Patten (a.k.a. Rosalva Vasquez) had the need to heal her own pain after receiving her first baby Noel Vasquez diagnosis with HIV when he received a transfusion with tainted blood. Noel was 4 years old.

Since 1996 until now Rosalva has been opening five HIV organizations helping women and children living with HIV in Baja California: In 2010 the new Es Por Los Ninos, A.C. center is dedicated to the memory of Noel and to the Women, to the Children and to the Adolescents whose struggles in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Listen to her incredible journey and wait until the end when she tells me a surprising story about her son Noel and the mother of his kids. Yes, he lived to be old enough to have two beautiful children.

Find out more about her organization at https://www.exn.mx in Mexico and please share this episode to someone you may think could benefit from this story.

Stay shining!

Thanks to our monthly supporters
