This is the true story of Patrick, who was born with haemophilia and contracted HIV through a tainted blood transfusion when he was seven. Lyanne’s fun-loving older brother Patrick was always on the go. He played the piano and loved to toboggan, skate, and ski. Lyanne barely noticed that he needed daily shots because of his haemophilia. But she didn’t know that Patrick had a secret. Because of a tainted blood transfusion, he had become HIV positive. Nobody but their parents knew. So Patrick continued his life of laughter, friendship, and accomplishment, winning trophies and awards for everything he tried. When he developed full-blown AIDS, Patrick decided to go public so that others would realise that HIV and AIDS are preventable. Illustrated with photographs taken throughout his life, Patrick’s Wish tells the story of a boy who embraced hope and laughter until his last day. His wish to fight HIV and AIDS through education continues to inspire young people through his family’s foundation, Patrick4Life. Patrick had one wish, to raise awareness and find a cure. This compelling story is aimed at making his wish come true.
