Keep a Child Alive

A Love Story from The Blue Roof

Webb Matomane & Margaret Madonsela met in the waiting room at KCA’s Blue Roof Wellness Center in Durban, South Africa in 2008. The Blue Roof Clinic is a state of the art center providing free anti-retroviral treatment, nutritional support, home based care, psychosocial support and alcohol/drug abuse counseling to more than 1,200 patients. Margaret came into the Clinic to be tested and Webb was collecting his repeat medication for the upcoming month. They began talking and when Webb left he told Wendy, our receptionist, that although he knew her, he had misplaced her phone number and wanted to contact her after their talk. Since then, a relationship developed from this meeting at the Clinic and they married in 2009! Margaret says Webb has made her so happy and it puts a smile on her face that her grown children have accepted him as her husband and that they are HIV positive together. They are happily married and want everyone to know that life goes on even when you are HIV positive. This Valentine’s Day, you can help keep more people like Webb & Margaret alive.
