    Alive Medical Services

    Our Alive Medical Services clinic in Uganda is fighting for the lives of every patient who comes through their doors. With anti-retroviral drug shortages in clinics throughout the country, the number of people turning to Alive for treatment grows every day. Most are already very sick and in dire need of immediate treatment and care to survive. To help Alive meet the growing need, KCA must raise an additional $10,000 by the end of October.

    The situation in Uganda today has become alarming for anyone who needs AIDS medication. Lack of adequate funding has led to shortages in anti-retrovirals (ARVs), affecting the scale of treatment in HIV/AIDS centers throughout the country. Most clinics are no longer initiating any new patients onto ARVs at all. Alive Medical Services, with nearly 3,000 patients on ARVs already, is one of very few continuing to take on new patients. But we can only continue to do so with your support.

    With your help, Dr. Pasquine at Alive Medical Services can keep hope alive for those desperate to live another day. “Imagine” Dr. Pasquine says, “They are standing there before you, begging for their lives, or for the lives of their children.”

    What would you be willing to give up today to save one more person from dying from AIDS?

    Help us now. Donate today and give life to a patient at Alive Medical Services. We want to tell Dr. Pasquine that she can continue putting people on to treatment, wash away the tears and let them know that life will be there for them tomorrow.

    KCA needs your help to keep our patients alive through the end of this year, when the drug supply issue in Uganda should be resolved. Together, we need to raise $10,000 by the end of October so Dr. Pasquine can purchase the medicines she needs for the rest of the year.

    On behalf of the people we serve, thank you for your support!
