 CHALINEDA

Her mom came to the clinic 2 weeks ago.  She had just tested TB positive and had begun her treatment.  She went home and died the next day.  Grandma does not feel like she can take care of Chalineda when she is a baby and deal with the other children that are older.  We will care for her until she is walking and eating solid foods.  This will enable grandma to care for the older kids and be able to work at the same time.
