Meet Muoki

Muoki is pictured above outside of his house where he lives with his grandmother and sister. He is HIV positive and is on a diet where he must eat every few hours in order to take his medication. As of right now, Muoki is being supported for food, however his family could still use extra income for many things they cannot afford, such tuition for school and supplies.
