Jerry Hughes: Living the Positive Life

Serving children orphaned from AIDS and people affected by HIV/AIDS in India. Diagnosed with HIV in 2004 myself and using my positive journey to give hope to others through House of Hope. Learn more and support our work at: https://aboutme/jerryhughes or www.HFhope.org

As I celebrate my birthday month, I'm reminded of the fresh start that comes with new possibilities, and I'm reaching out for support to help make a meaningful impact.

Some loved ones are moving on, while others are joining us after ten years. You can send birthday blessings and contribute to our cause at www.HFhope.org until February 24th.

Due to FB fundraising restrictions in India, I'm doing this the old-fashioned way. I'll keep you updated on our progress weekly. Your support makes a difference, and you can donate at www.HFhope.org.

As many kids at House of Hope have been painting I said, “we need a red ribbon.” It’s the symbol and meaning of what we do and who we represent. The many who have suffered and died for there to be a House of Hope and for the hope of a life without HIV/AIDS. Regardless, we are affected by HIV/AIDS and because of House of Hope there is hope! That’s simply beautiful! #houseofhope #HF #beyondhiv #redribbon #hope #positiveandproud #famiky #nagpur #india www.HFhope.org A special thank you to Atul Ramesh Rajurkar for painting the red ribbon and the HOH URL. 🤗 (at Nagpur) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNbpSRSLHA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After a month of vigorous tenth grade exams and studying, our four House of Hope tenth graders are exhausted but hopeful that all of their hard work, studying and private tutors pays off and they pass to eleventh grade. I believe they will thrive. That’s the HOH way. #houseofhope #HF #tenthclass #BoardExams2023 #success #family #nagpur #india www.HFhope.org (at Nagpur) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNaHWuycTM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When Naitik said, “Kaka, I lost a tooth” during lunch today, I said, “Yay the tooth fairy will come if you leave your tooth under your pillow and sleep and then she will give you rupees.” He was so excited and I was not sure what to do as I don’t go to House of Hope at night and I’m the tooth fairy (I go to bed way earlier than these kids) So, he out his tooth under the pillow and all kids were playing outside, since it’s a Holiday here. I came out screaming and said, “Naitik the tooth fairy came early and I saw her, check under your pillow.” And there behold was 100 INR (around $1.21 USD). His world was so happy and I realized why I love my job, serving kids affected by HIV/AIDS. It’s my purpose to bring joy and light! #houseofhope #HF #naitik #toothfairy #family #love #purpose #nagpur #india www.HFhope.org (at Nagpur) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqFu_A3sQoL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
