WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – SEEDS of Healing will offer a free HIV Testing Day Event on Monday, June 27 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

"Studies reveal that roughly 13% of persons in the United States are unaware of their HIV status" (CDC, 2019). In a press release, SEEDS of Healing adds, "Knowing your HIV status provides critical information that can help you maintain your health."

In 20 minutes, the results of the exams will be available, and the hosts will provide refreshments, music, a picture booth, and giveaways. A $10 gift card will be given to everyone who takes the test. SEEDS of Healing Inc., 1624 Princess Street, Wilmington, will host the event.

 

In 2015, our company was founded in honour of Luwana Daniels, also known as "Pumpkin." The abbreviation SEEDS (Sustaining Empowerment by Educating and Developing Sisters) is correct. It describes the most personal aspects of our practise, which promotes resilience and healing.

Pumpkin, a single mother, was diagnosed HIV positive in 1990 by anonymous testing and did not seek medical care until 6 years later after becoming increasingly ill with advanced disease.  This unfortunate occurrence is common for many women still today.  Pumpkin was a born again Christian and faithful believer in God’s grace for healing. Six years before starting HIV care, Pumpkin isolated herself with depression, and expressed feeling embarrassed and ashamed. She relied only upon spiritual faith and holistic remedies for healing of HIV.  Pumpkin was also living with the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), which she was unaware of until she eventually established medical care for HIV.  After initiating treatment in 1996, Pumpkin succumbed to health complications from having prolonged and untreated HIV and HCV by 1998. Through it all, Pumpkin raised her 2 daughters Aminah and LeShonda, earned a college degree, and was an intercessor for those seeking Christ and matriarch to her family.
