Current Goal

   Born HIV positive on January 25, 1985, Denelle lived just 238 days. In that short time, she brought immeasurable love, joy, and light to those who knew her. 
 
   In her short time among us, she would have no chance to make friends, ride a bus to her first day of school, see her favorite movie, celebrate a birthday, or open a  Christmas present with her family. She had only enough time to know that she had a sister, a brother, a mother and father who loved her.
 
    At the dawn of this terrible disease, the childs mother was infected, not by a dirty needle, or reckless lifestyle, but by ignorance. Doctors not yet aware of the possibility of HIV tainted donor blood, infused her during routine surgery. Later, a child conceived, was doomed. 
          
   Today, the disease continues to spread. By needle, by recklessness, and most painfully, by Ignorance.
 
   The goal of this trackable is to go where ever you would like to take it. Please post images of her journey and share her story.  If her story changes one life for the better, if her story saves just one person, then her short life will have counted for something beyond the joy she brought us.

Discovered your trackable on your profile - thank you for sharing

Sadly, the fight for compensation for those and their families affected still contines today in the UK. The Infected Blood Inquiry was established in 2017 to examine how thousands of patients in the UK were infected with HIV or Hepatitis C through contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 1980s, and which saw more than 2,000 patients die after transfusions of tainted blood.

This inquiry is still currently in progress today. Despite being let down by successive UK governments over the years with repeated promises, the current British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, will still not not give a clear answer on when full payments will be paid out.

The fight continues... Rest In Peace lovely Denelle.
