The story

Title Zoe-Life HIV Diagnosis: February 1, 1987 My doll wears glasses because HIV has affected my eyes. It has allowed me to see how precious time spent with those you love really is. My doll wears a cross because HIV has affected my faith. It is my faith that has given me strength. My doll wears her heart on for everyone to see because HIV has affected my heart. It holds all the love and memories of the friends I have lost to HIV and those still living with it…walking beside me in this journey.
