Care History

It all began when Anne Webb was asked to visit and pray with an AIDS patient at the Communicable Disease Centre. The bed-ridden patient was partially blind and wanted somebody to pray with him.

In those days, and to some extent even now, PLWHAs were shunned by an ignorant and AIDS-phobic public. (Taxi drivers did not even want to ferry people to and from CDC!) Her daughter Jackie Webb, later took over her role when she was unable to carry on her prayer ministry to PWAs. (Read Jackie's account.)
